Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care
Kelly Shelton integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps build self-awareness and self-worth - it can be especially helpful for relationship concerns and self-esteem. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can aid with mood, motivation, and coping during life changes. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsivity, making it useful for trauma reactions, relationship conflict, and emotion regulation struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelly works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access a licensed professional from different locations when needed.
