Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with daily functioning by teaching practical skills and steps for problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - it can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and self-management. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences, supporting clients to regain safety, stability, and coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary "Christine" Lawson works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as treatment progresses so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to attend from home or other convenient locations. These options can help people maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other responsibilities while accessing licensed professionals who use structured, evidence-informed approaches to support progress.
