CBT and DBT Approaches in Online Therapy
Ruby Preston integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice. CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors by teaching concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. It is practical and goal-oriented, with a focus on techniques that can be used in daily life.DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. These skills support people who experience intense emotions or relationship challenges and can be especially helpful for managing strong reactions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ruby collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative process helps tailor treatment so it feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy with modalities such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility.
