Approaches that translate to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It often involves short, practical exercises and homework to try between sessions.DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, reducing panic, and improving stress tolerance. It emphasizes mindfulness, distress tolerance, and building healthier ways to cope.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will choose or blend techniques from these methods to match the person's needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and feedback. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching possible between sessions. These formats can help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady progress.
