Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or unhealthy coping. It focuses on practical exercises and skills that can be practiced between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It is especially useful for people who struggle with mood swings, impulsivity, or chronic emotional pain. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by exploring values and strengthening internal motivation. It uses collaborative, nonjudgmental conversation to help people move toward recovery goals and make sustainable changes.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, set goals, and adapt techniques from different models so treatment fits the client's preferences and real-life demands. This makes the work more relevant and easier to integrate into daily life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while allowing licensed professionals to deliver focused, evidence-informed support across distance.
