Therapeutic approaches for online care
Dr. Schmit uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s perspectives and goals guide the work; this approach helps people feel understood and is useful for building insight and self-direction. He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thought patterns and teaches skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms such as anxiety or depression. When emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provide concrete tools for coping with intense emotions and improving relationships.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the clinical process, and Dr. Schmit works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and support can continue through live chat or text-based messaging when that suits the client. This variety of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain momentum between sessions.
