Online support options
CBT and DBT approaches for online care
Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and problems that feel stuck by changing thinking and routines.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are stressed.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen work for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get brief support between sessions and to work through skills in real time. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions.
