How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills into sessions to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high. Motivational Interviewing is used to build readiness for change by exploring strengths and ambivalence in a supportive way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they experiment with tools and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and feedback. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief skill reminders, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum while working toward goals.
