Approaches that guide online work
Tina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as part of her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be helpful for anxiety and stress. DBT emphasizes coping skills like emotional regulation and distress tolerance, useful for strong emotions and trauma-related reactions.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to find their own motivation. Each approach is explained and offered collaboratively; Tina will talk with the client about what feels most useful and adapt the plan as goals evolve.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is preferred. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or not being on camera matters. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in more frequently with brief updates or between-session notes. These options offer flexibility in pacing and format while keeping the work focused on clear goals and practical strategies.
