How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep or eating concerns by giving practical steps to change daily patterns.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It is often used for anger, mood swings, impulsive behavior, and relationship or attachment struggles. The approach emphasizes skill practice and problem-solving in real situations.
Mindfulness therapy encourages noticing thoughts and bodily signals without harsh judgment. It helps reduce rumination, improve focus, and bring steadier responses to stress and trauma reminders.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, skill coaching between sessions, or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
