Online support options
Approaches for change in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes by teaching practical tools to shift thinking and daily routines.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is useful for managing intense emotions, reducing reactive behaviors, and improving relationships through concrete skills practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then recommend techniques that match those needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can fit shorter check-ins or busy schedules. These options help people fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while still working on clear goals and skills.
