Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Shervonne Banks draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness therapy in her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning and is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and skill building to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, supporting coping with stress, grief, and ongoing life challenges.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each client to explore which methods resonate, tailors strategies to match individual goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative approach helps determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and personal style.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, guide behavioral change, and provide consistent therapeutic support in ways that align with each client's life.
