Therapeutic approaches and online care

Stephanie Freeman integrates several practical approaches to support clients through online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered method that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which can be particularly useful for substance use and behavior change goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions and treatment plans rather than following a fixed protocol, ensuring the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, goal-focused therapy while accommodating varying schedules and communication styles.
