Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Therese draws on several well-established approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building on the person’s own strengths and priorities - it helps when someone needs validation, support in decision-making, or a collaborative space to explore feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially helpful for strong emotions, anger, and patterns that feel overwhelming.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Therese works collaboratively with clients to assess which methods fit their goals, challenges, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment aligns with what matters most to the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or mobility needs and to maintain continuity of care when life is busy. For many people, remote formats provide accessible and effective ways to engage in therapy with licensed professionals and therapists.
