Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching concrete skills for managing mood and behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is helpful for intense emotions, self-destructive patterns, and difficulties with relationships by building step-by-step coping skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore relational patterns that develop from early caregiving experiences and how those patterns affect current relationships and self-perception. It can be particularly relevant for family issues, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care experiences, and work on connection and trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Licensed professionals and therapists work collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor techniques and pacing accordingly so treatment feels like a good fit.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make these approaches more accessible and flexible. Remote sessions allow people to fit care into busy lives, continue therapy during transitions, and choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
