Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Lois Plock uses well-established approaches that translate effectively to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learning practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts. Client-Centered Therapy centers the relationship itself, offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their values and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lois partners with each person to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can occur by video call or phone, and ongoing support is available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals and therapists from a distance while working toward meaningful change.
