Online support options
How these approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In remote sessions this can look like learning breathing and grounding exercises, building routines for overwhelming moments, and role-playing conversations to improve relationships.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable changes and clear short-term goals. Work is forward-looking and practical, often involving simple experiments and steps to move toward a preferred outcome.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals and needs, then recommend techniques or a mix of methods. Together you will check progress and adjust methods when something is not working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging helps with brief support or homework prompts. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, childcare, or travel.
