Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer, more useful thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood problems and focuses on concrete strategies people can practice between sessions.She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills into online work to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help when strong feelings make it hard to take steps forward. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify values and strengthen a person’s own reasons for change when ambivalence gets in the way.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist and client look at goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try focused techniques together. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and do interactive exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days while keeping the same goal-oriented approach used in face-to-face work.
