How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems active. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and sleep problems by teaching practical skills and small experiments to try between sessions.Therapy with Dr. Koutsouros is collaborative. She will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their concerns, goals, and how they like to work. Finding the right method is part of the process and choices can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow a longer face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, skill coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
