Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Linda often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify difficult thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical steps and small experiments that reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can help with intense emotions, anger, relationship stress, and self-control challenges.
Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she brings into sessions to help people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness practices can support stress reduction, focus, and managing chronic worry.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to match methods to the client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Techniques are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work on these approaches. Video calls let people do longer, interactive sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, skills practice, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
