Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. It uses practical strategies and skill-building to address patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines change-focused techniques with acceptance and mindfulness practices. DBT is useful for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and building distress tolerance.

Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, supporting emotional regulation and reduced reactivity. It pairs well with CBT and DBT to increase self-awareness and calm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Allyson collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients try strategies, evaluate what works, and adapt the plan over time so the work feels personalized and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from home. These options allow clients to continue consistent care, maintain momentum between sessions, and engage in therapy in the way that feels most comfortable for them.
