Integrating CBT and DBT into Online Care

Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical tools and exercises that can reduce distress and improve everyday functioning, making it useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, and can be especially helpful for people facing strong emotional reactions or pattern-based difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy allows Theresa to offer flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations. The focus remains on practical, skills-based work that translates into daily life.
