Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Rixie uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s concerns and goals. That means conversations start from what matters to you and the therapist helps guide next steps without taking over. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify thought and behavior patterns that make problems worse and to practice new, more helpful ways of responding. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving relationships through techniques like distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together you can try different tools and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful.

Online formats offer flexibility for different situations. Video calls let you talk face to face when you want a more typical session experience. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or fit a brief session around a busy day. These options help therapy fit into school, work, or family schedules while keeping the focus on practical skill-building and steady progress.
