Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard and supported while they explore values, strengths, and personal goals; it is often used to address relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems through structured exercises and real-world practice.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies, offering skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulsive behaviors.
