Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping each session around the person's concerns. It helps people feel heard and supports self-directed change through empathy and real feedback.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and homework the person can do between sessions to test new ways of thinking.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In teletherapy DBT practice, sessions can include skill coaching, role plays, and brief check-ins to reinforce new ways of coping.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adjust techniques over time so the work fits the person’s life and pace.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messaging can be a good option for quick check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
