Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care
Lisa draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) along with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and supporting the individual as the expert on their own life - it helps people explore values, build self-compassion, and clarify goals. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. DBT offers practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for trauma responses and intense emotional experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively to determine what fits best for each person. She tailors techniques to a client's needs, preferences, and pacing, adjusting plans as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain consistency in care. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from wherever they are, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue therapy through life transitions while still working toward meaningful change.
