Online support options
How her approaches work online
CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or panic symptoms.DBT emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. In virtual DBT work, clients learn distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and communication techniques that are rehearsed between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Baker will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt strategies based on what helps most. She treats the choice of approach as collaborative and revisits it as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching moments, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue skill practice between meetings.
