Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Connection
Stella draws on evidence-based methods to guide online work in ways that meet each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world behavior changes - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive patterns - it can be especially helpful for emotion regulation and interpersonal difficulties. The Gottman Method provides structured tools for couples to improve communication, repair conflict, and rebuild trust through concrete exercises rooted in research.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stella collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life situation, and she adapts strategies as progress is made to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments. These options can increase access to regular support and make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
