Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Dana Hall integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online therapy to meet different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching practical ways to accept difficult feelings and commit to actions that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build concrete coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it is particularly helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and building stable coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dana works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors techniques from these models so therapy fits each person’s life and priorities.
Online therapy with Dana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, varying energy levels, and geographic distance. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care while making it easier for clients to attend sessions and practice skills between meetings.
