Approach and options for online therapy
Courtney commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, following the person's goals, and creating space to talk through concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical steps to change responses to stress and anxiety.She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage intense emotions and build coping strategies. DBT skills such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance are useful when feelings become overwhelming or when relationships are strained. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; the therapist will discuss options and choose methods that fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy is delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier with lower bandwidth, live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing, and these formats help fit therapy into busy schedules. Licensed professionals use these options to support consistent, accessible care that matches how a person prefers to communicate.
