Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Shelley Stisser integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients explore their own values and goals, which can be especially useful for building self-esteem and navigating major life changes. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation or interpersonal challenges are prominent. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving relationships. Together these approaches offer both reflective exploration and actionable tools to address stress, grief, addictions, and other concerns.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Shelley will work with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made. Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. These options help people access licensed professionals from their home, work, or on the go while maintaining continuity of care and consistent access to support.
