Approaches that translate to online therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety, managing panic, and improving mood through step-by-step exercises and behavioral experiments.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts by teaching concrete skills to steady reactions and communicate more clearly.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing past traumatic events in a paced way. It helps reduce post-traumatic stress symptoms and lessen the hold of painful memories by combining safety-building, gradual processing, and coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time if something isn’t working or priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and demonstration of skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging support brief updates, homework check-ins, or more frequent touchpoints between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and access help from different locations.
