CBT and DBT tools for online care

Kerri-Ann commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT work often focuses on setting small goals and practicing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and choose techniques that fit. Decisions about pacing, homework, and which skills to try are made collaboratively so the plan feels manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for teaching skills and practicing exercises. Phone sessions work well when a camera is not needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or when written communication is easier. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules and let them use the format that best supports consistent progress.
