CBT and DBT Strategies for Remote Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and then practice alternative responses. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and challenges with motivation or self-esteem by offering practical tools to change unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. DBT can be particularly useful when intense feelings or difficulties with emotional regulation make daily functioning harder.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Melissa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques so care fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support between in-person commitments, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
