Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Skill Building
Shell Freeman draws on evidence-informed methods to support clients in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility so they can pursue meaningful actions even when difficult emotions are present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shell collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors methods and interventions so that treatment feels relevant and achievable. This collaborative stance helps determine which combination of techniques will best support progress.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. Working with licensed professionals in these formats can make it easier to maintain consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from wherever the client is located.
