Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and some eating or anger concerns. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can help with intense emotions, self-control, and relationship patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on feelings and attachment needs to improve how people connect and relate to others.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, symptoms, and everyday life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual cues and face-to-face conversation matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and when someone prefers writing. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
