Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, helping people set their own goals and make steady change. It’s useful when someone needs a supportive space to clarify values, address relationship problems, or build confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some addiction-related patterns because it gives concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationship patterns cause repeated conflict.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That team-style work aims to find practical steps that fit day-to-day life.

Online sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support, and messaging can help people reflect between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and let people use the format that feels most comfortable.
