Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is a structured, goal-oriented approach often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem behaviors by teaching skills to reframe thoughts and try new actions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication and relationship patterns need strengthening.
Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. It supports greater emotional balance, reduced reactivity, and improved coping with chronic stress and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chad works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to create a treatment plan that feels practical and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during changes, and access support from different locations. Chad prioritizes scheduling options that meet clients where they are and tailors the online experience to each person’s comfort and needs.
