How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce impulsivity and improve relationships. It is useful for strong emotions, mood disorders, and managing crises. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience and builds a collaborative, respectful space where the therapist listens and reflects to support growth.Carrie approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She will help clients figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust techniques over time. Together they set priorities and try approaches that feel right for the situation rather than insisting on one method up front.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through different formats. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skill teaching and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions, do brief processing, or receive skill reminders. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and varying day-to-day needs while keeping therapeutic work consistent.
