Online support
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on what matters to the client. The therapist listens with respect and follows the client's lead to build trust and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors shape feelings and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to handle strong feelings and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter format is preferred. Live chat or text messaging can serve as brief check-ins, skill practice, or quick support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
