Online support options
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It focuses on practical exercises such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and building manageable routines.DBT offers skills for tolerating strong emotions, improving interpersonal communication, and reducing impulsive reactions. Skills practice can be taught in short steps and rehearsed between sessions to help during high-stress moments.
Katherine works collaboratively to choose the best approach based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She uses initial conversations to see which methods fit and adjusts the plan as progress is made. People are invited to weigh in on what feels useful and what should change.
Online therapy lets people meet by video call when face-to-face time is helpful for conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat or text-based messaging can support skill prompts, brief coaching, and ongoing accountability between scheduled sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping consistent momentum with treatment.
