Therapy approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they set their own goals and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can ease intense feelings and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Everett will listen to a person's goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She treats therapy as a collaboration and adjusts methods based on what helps most in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work when video is not practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
