Approaches that guide online sessions

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions or impulsive reactions learn step-by-step tools to feel steadier.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. By separating a person from their problem and re-authoring those stories, this work can reduce shame and open up new possibilities for identity and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and needs and suggest which methods might fit best. Decisions about approach are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have a near face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions remove the need for video and can work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options provide flexibility so therapy can happen around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
