Approaches to online therapy and how they help
Carrie uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities and strengths. This approach means sessions begin with listening to what matters most, then shaping support around those goals to make therapy feel relevant and doable.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Dialectical behavior therapy contributes concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving coping. DBT-based techniques include grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation tools that people can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process ensures sessions match each person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat or texts work well for brief check-ins, scheduling, or practicing short skills between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on steady progress.
