Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals; online sessions let the therapist follow a person's lead and build practical plans together. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often turned into short exercises clients can use between sessions.Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Those skills are especially easy to practice with coaching over video or text when moments of high emotion arise. Elizabeth will work collaboratively to choose the approaches that match each person's goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method upfront.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, homework review, and coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
