How MBT and Skills-Based Therapy Work Online
Megan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often involves short exercises and homework to try between sessions, which fits well with online formats.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT breaks skills into clear steps people can practice in daily life to reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan will talk with the client about their goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what works best. The plan changes as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility while keeping that same clinical work intact. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and role play. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief coaching, between-session skills reminders, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and practice new skills where they matter most.
