Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and helping people identify their own solutions to stress, grief, or relationship struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems by breaking challenges into manageable steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. These tools can help with intense emotions, anger, and relationship or attention-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person's goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest an approach to try. This is collaborative and adjustments are made based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and use shared exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, homework checks, or steady support between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and varied needs.
