Evidence-Based Approaches for Effective Online Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns by teaching skills to reframe thinking and build healthier habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and patterns of impulsive or self-sabotaging behavior, offering step-by-step skills to improve day-to-day functioning.
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps process and reduce the lasting impact of traumatic events by providing interventions that address trauma symptoms and build resilience. This approach is applied when past or recent trauma is affecting current wellbeing.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lauren Ball works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
