How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-centered work centers on listening and understanding the person's experience so they feel heard and can set their own goals. DBT emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in the moment.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, try options, and adjust methods based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. That collaborative way makes it easier to find strategies that actually work for daily life rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text are helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care when in-person meetings are not practical.
