Therapeutic approaches for online healing
Heather Hutter uses evidence-based approaches tailored to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical strategies to shift them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, or patterns of self-criticism. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact when trauma is a central concern.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so that the work fits the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model. Licensed professionals and therapists draw on clinical judgment alongside client feedback to find the best fit.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, reduces travel time, and can make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats allow clients to engage with therapy from locations that work for them while still receiving structured, therapeutic support from trained professionals.
