Applying CBT in Online Therapy with a California LMFT

Renee Lewis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a cornerstone of her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then testing and replacing them with more balanced ways of thinking and behaving. It is commonly used to address symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and difficulties with focus, helping clients develop practical skills for managing mood and daily challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Renee tailors her dialog and treatment plans to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, working together to determine whether CBT or particular techniques within it feel like the best fit for the presenting concerns.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier for clients to fit therapy into busy lives or to continue care from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and supportive conversations to these formats, allowing clients to build skills and make progress while connecting in the way that works best for them.
