Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
LaToya McLaughlin uses evidence-based methods adapted for remote work so clients can engage in meaningful change from wherever they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns by teaching practical skills to respond differently to difficult situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it helps people manage strong emotions, reduce reactive behaviors, and improve communication in relationships. Mindfulness Therapy invites gentle attention to present-moment experience, supporting greater self-awareness and reduced reactivity in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. LaToya collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit the client s situation. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and achievable.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication formats, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
