How Terri Uses Practical Approaches Online
Terri often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily life.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are helpful when emotions feel intense or when communication repeatedly breaks down. The Gottman Method is used when communication and connection in relationships are the focus, offering specific exercises to improve how people talk and solve problems together.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods fit the client’s goals, personality, and situation. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work on these approaches. Video calls allow for real-time conversation and practice of communication skills. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share between sessions, track progress, or get brief coaching without needing a full appointment.
