Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching practical skills for changing thoughts and actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness - tools that are useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing reactive behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity, and it is commonly used when past traumatic experiences interfere with present life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors treatment by combining methods that fit the individual. Clients and the therapist discuss options and adjust the plan over time to ensure the best match for progress and comfort.
Online therapy with Lisa is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, travel constraints, or differing communication preferences. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, and choose the format that feels most helpful for ongoing work.
