04Online support
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Allison commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy online. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce panic, depressive symptoms, and anxious thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away. Mindfulness can be paired with CBT or DBT skills to make them easier to use between sessions. Allison collaborates with each person to choose the best mix of approaches based on their goals, daily routines, and what feels most helpful in early sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can provide quick check-ins, short coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, and busy schedules while using approaches that focus on practical skills and real-world change.
