Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression and difficulties with mood or habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness - it can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges and impulse-related difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that supports the processing of distressing memories and associated symptoms, helping people reduce the power of past events on current functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Tomlinson works collaboratively with people to assess needs, goals and preferences and to tailor an approach or blend of approaches that feels like the best fit. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy is relevant and aligned with each person’s priorities.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments, support access for people who cannot attend in-person, and allow therapy to continue when life circumstances change.
