Online support options
Using CBT and DBT skills in online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving by breaking issues into small, manageable steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving how people relate to others. DBT skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs clearer ways to manage conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, try techniques, and adjust what you practice based on what helps. That collaborative process means the plan can shift as needs change or as you try different skills.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit a short break or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are good for quick check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing skills consistently.
