How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Beaupre often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking progress over time to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-based work teaches breathing, grounding, and interpersonal strategies that help manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try strategies that fit the person’s life, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This collaborative process helps identify whether CBT, DBT skills, EMDR-oriented trauma work, or a mix is best for specific concerns.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep momentum between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use methods that match a person’s daily routine and comfort.
