Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills - approaches that can be especially helpful for intense emotional reactions, impulsivity, and relationship problems. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation, useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about taking steps forward.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Cooke works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure care fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent work on therapy goals, attend sessions around other responsibilities, and access therapists from different locations while keeping the focus on effective, personalized care.
