Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy and recovery

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges where changing thinking and routines can reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - it is particularly useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive or self-destructive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate them; it can help with avoidance, chronic stress, and building a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erica works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, blending techniques as appropriate so therapy feels practical and personalized. Licensed professionals tailor the plan together with each client, adjusting as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still receiving evidence-informed therapeutic support from a licensed therapist.
