Approaches for Online Healing and Connection
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, eating-related challenges, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change strategies while teaching skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective interpersonal interactions - useful for clients facing intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional bonds and attachment, helping partners or individuals explore patterns in close relationships and work toward greater emotional connection and understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy Foote works collaboratively with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor a plan that draws on these methods in ways that fit the client’s life and priorities.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy schedule and to receive support from different settings. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow for ongoing skill practice between sessions, and can help maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
