Using practical approaches in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to set their own goals while the therapist reflects and supports those goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change unhelpful patterns that keep problems going.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It is useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. Abby will discuss options and help determine what fits a person's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. The choice of methods can change over time as needs evolve, and treatment stays collaborative and goal focused.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs an off-camera option. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and between-session contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while trying different strategies and tracking progress.
