How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Denise often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood by teaching skills for challenging negative thinking.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-informed techniques support people who struggle with intense emotions, anger, or relationship conflicts by offering step-by-step coping skills.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Denise will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then tailor methods to fit those needs. She revisits the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and focused.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a short check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief messages between sessions for coaching and check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use the methods above in ways that match daily life and routines.
