Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It often includes practical exercises and strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and work-related difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skill-building in emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness to help people cope with intense emotions, relationship challenges, and self-harm urges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance of internal experiences, which can reduce reactivity to stress and support better emotional balance in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Dexter works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, and then adapts techniques from these approaches to fit the individual. The therapist and client decide together what methods will be used and how progress will be measured.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and brief check-ins or coaching can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving a consistent therapeutic relationship.
