Using CBT and DBT skills in online therapy
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on testing thoughts with gentle experiments and changing behavior to improve mood and functioning.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can be useful when strong emotions get in the way of daily life or relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Ashley will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what is working. Clients and therapist decide together which skills or strategies fit best for a person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skill teaching and role-play, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, skill reminders, and short coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a real life schedule and practice new skills when they matter most.
