Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Online sessions can include skill instruction, practice, and short between-session check-ins to reinforce new habits.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how emotions drive interactions. In online work this approach helps people notice interaction cycles, try different responses, and repair connection through guided conversation.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps process traumatic memories by combining focused recall with bilateral stimulation. When appropriate, EMDR protocols can be adapted for video sessions so a person can process trauma while guided step by step.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they map a plan and try methods that match the client's needs, adjusting as progress is made.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial expression and have deeper conversation. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when a shorter conversation fits a busy day. These options help therapy fit into real life routines and keep work moving forward.
