Approaches for online coping and healing
Dr. Reyna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, social fears, and depression because it focuses on practical changes in thought and action.She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills into sessions to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when communication becomes difficult. When trauma is a focus, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing may be used to process painful memories and lessen their emotional charge.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration helps shape session plans and what skills to practice between meetings.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and do longer sessions, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for a quicker check-in, and texting supports brief day-to-day coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep practicing skills between appointments.
