Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Aimee combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the person's concerns and priorities. It helps people feel heard and figure out what matters most to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which helps during crises or ongoing stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Aimee talks with each person about their goals and tries methods that fit their situation. She checks in often to see what helps and adjusts the plan when needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
