Online support options
Online approaches that teach skills and reshape stories
Stefanie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that increase anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on practical exercises, small experiments, and clearer problem-solving to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based strategies are useful when intense emotions, impulsivity, or recurring conflict make life harder.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they choose techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have fuller conversations, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when a written format helps reflection. These options allow scheduling to fit work, family, and other life demands.
