Online support options
Approaches you can use in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through practice and step-by-step strategies.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan until it fits the person's needs and daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and skills demonstrations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow more frequent, brief exchanges that can help keep momentum between longer appointments.
