Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more balanced, practical ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies and emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it can be especially helpful for intense emotions and patterns that lead to relationship or behavior difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and feelings, supporting stress reduction and improved emotional clarity.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carissa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she tailors techniques so they are practical and relevant to each person's life. This collaborative process allows adjustments as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can access licensed professionals in formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapy in the context of everyday life.
