Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Barbie Rice integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that supports clients in exploring their values and goals while recognizing their own expertise in their lives. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when clients need help with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT offers concrete skills for coping with intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can be especially helpful for mood instability and interpersonal challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Barbie works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and practical. Licensed professionals often blend approaches to match what will be most effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Barbie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These modalities make it easier to access consistent support without needing to travel, and they allow therapists to tailor session formats to the needs of each client.
