Online support
How these approaches work with online therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, OCD patterns, and mood disorders by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing skills between sessions.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It helps when strong emotions, impulsivity, anger, or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life, and it includes concrete skills people can use in heated moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life situation. Sessions may blend methods and change focus as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills coaching and role play. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for check-ins. Live chat and text can support brief check-ins, mood tracking, and on-the-spot coping skills between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and travel routines while still practicing the same therapeutic approaches used in traditional sessions.
