Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Marguerite Elkins uses several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it helps with depression, anxiety, mood concerns, and stress by teaching practical coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills, which can be useful for intense emotions, anger, and relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, and many therapists adapt EMDR techniques for remote delivery when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Marguerite collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, then recommends and refines methods together so care feels tailored and practical. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with each person’s values and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and engage with licensed professionals from familiar environments. The format supports consistent work on skills, short check-ins, and full sessions depending on what a client needs.
