Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Sarah often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical skills and experiments clients can try between sessions to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT offers concrete strategies for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and coping with crises.

Mindfulness practices are another regular part of her work, teaching simple attention and awareness exercises that support stress reduction and greater self-compassion.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and experiences, adjusting techniques as needed so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy provides flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from different locations while working together toward meaningful change.
