Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions through techniques like distress tolerance and emotion regulation. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, offering practical ways to reduce reactivity, improve attention, and build resilience.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shelley works collaboratively with clients to select and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. Together the client and therapist choose what will be most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, continue work during life transitions, and maintain momentum between sessions while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to each person's circumstances.
