Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people recognize and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that benefit from concrete coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills - tools that are useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and trauma-related reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying strengths and practical steps toward small, achievable goals, making it a good fit for clients who want focused, goal-oriented work.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donna works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals when appropriate to determine which techniques or combination of approaches best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides treatment planning and adjustments over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when care happens. Video calls and phone sessions enable face-to-face conversation from different locations, while live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical.
