How Samantha’s Approaches Work Online
Samantha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, panic, and sleep trouble. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help with strong reactions and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samantha collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match goals, daily demands, and comfort with different tools. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful and what is realistic for a client’s routine.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper discussion is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or movement is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, exchange short reflections, or practice skills in the moment. These options help fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
