Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Dr. Glover often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior and try small experiments to change what does not work. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems.

She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-based techniques can help when emotions feel intense or relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try one or two methods, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative planning makes it easier to focus on practical steps that fit a person's life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
