Therapeutic Approaches Used in Online Care
Dr. Cherie Swingler frequently integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps clients explore goals and values in a nonjudgmental space, which can be especially helpful for relationship and family concerns. CBT is a practical approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for clients who struggle with intense emotions or relationship patterns. These approaches are selected and combined collaboratively - the therapist works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location while preserving the therapeutic relationship and active skill-building work.
