Practical approaches for online healing and skill building

Dr. Roberts often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

She also brings a client-centered stance that emphasizes listening and following each person's priorities. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging works well for brief updates and ongoing encouragement. These options help clients fit therapy into busy schedules and continue work even when in-person visits are difficult.
