Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes because it breaks problems into clear steps and skills.DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, focuses on managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive or self-harming behavior. It teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people understand and shift patterns in close relationships by looking at emotions and attachment needs in sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques over time. That collaborative process means approaches can be blended to fit changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper, interactive work and role plays, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
