Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with sleep or eating and usually involves practical exercises and homework between sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can help when strong emotions, anger, or relationship problems get in the way of functioning.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, collaborative way to explore a person's readiness to change. It helps with addictions, commitment issues, and taking small steps toward goals without pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This decision is revisited over time, and methods are adjusted based on progress and what feels most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
