Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Deana Fisher draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce stress and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, and can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Deana works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so the approach aligns with what is most helpful.

Online sessions make those collaborative methods easier to access. Video calls and phone sessions allow in-depth conversation and real-time skill practice, while live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible options for check-ins and ongoing support. These formats can increase convenience, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to maintain consistency in care with licensed professionals and therapists who match a client’s needs.
