Online Therapy with Evidence-Informed Approaches
Chris Fischer uses a range of evidence-informed methods to guide online work, beginning with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training with acceptance strategies to improve emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for mood instability and relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses the emotional impact of traumatic memories through structured processing techniques to reduce distress associated with past events.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chris collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which methods are likely to be the best fit. This collaborative process helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or with text-based messaging - allowing people to engage from home, work, or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapy into a busy life and to maintain momentum between sessions with support that matches each person’s schedule and communication style.
