04Online support
How these approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist listens and reflects. This approach helps people feel heard and decide which changes matter most to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions clients learn practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors between appointments, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Online work can include practicing breathing, grounding, and interpersonal strategies together and reviewing how those skills were used during the week.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, past experiences, and preferences and then suggest ways to combine methods that fit. Clients and the therapist check in over time and adjust the plan based on what is helping and what is not.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face for skill teaching and discussion. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or commute. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, and ongoing support between sessions.
