Applying DBT, CBT, and ACT Through Online Therapy
Erica integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her work to help clients build practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing reactive behaviors. DBT is often recommended for people coping with strong mood swings, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT supports goal-oriented work on anxiety, depression, stress, and habits by teaching tools for problem solving and mood regulation.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements these approaches by helping clients clarify values and develop psychological flexibility - learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erica works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while preserving the collaborative, skills-based work that Erica emphasizes.
