How Emily’s Approaches Work Online

Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong feelings and relationship strain.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set brief, concrete goals and highlight small changes that build momentum. Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist and client talk through goals, test different skills, and choose what fits the person's needs and preferences as they go.

Online sessions come in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief support, tracking progress, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
