Online Approaches and Collaborative Care



Cole Risbon draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support people in online care. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and strengthen internal resources, which is helpful for life transitions and identity-related work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, offering practical tools for day-to-day coping. DBT teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, and is often useful for handling intense emotions and interpersonal challenges.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cole works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. Clients are active partners in selecting what feels most useful.

Online therapy with Cole is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make therapy more accessible for people managing busy lives, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints, while enabling consistent, ongoing work with a licensed professional.
