CBT and DBT in Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In practice it offers structured techniques to manage anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills for reframing thoughts and testing new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. DBT is especially useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, or unstable relationships, and it emphasizes practical tools to navigate strong feelings.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Carrie collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on both CBT and DBT techniques and tailors recommendations so therapy aligns with what each person hopes to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals. Sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing work to continue around schedules, mobility, and geographic limits. For many people this adaptability makes it easier to engage consistently in therapy and practice new skills between sessions.
