Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while encouraging behavioral changes that support wellbeing.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. It is useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and developing strategies to cope with strong urges or impulsive behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people explore ambivalence about change and strengthen their own motivation. It is especially helpful for those working on substance use, habit change, or other areas where readiness and commitment vary.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sheila Levine works collaboratively with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and life context and to tailor methods that feel most helpful. Therapists and licensed professionals often combine these approaches to match what a client needs at a given time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and brief support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules, stay connected during life transitions, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not possible.
