Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Iesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies for managing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions.
She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or repeated crises that interfere with daily life.
Mindfulness Therapy is another component of her work, teaching present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques often pair well with CBT and DBT to enhance coping and self-awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Iesha collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques to fit each person's situation. This collaborative process helps determine which combination of methods will be most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care and building momentum toward personal goals.
