Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Stephanie integrates several evidence-based methods into her online practice to meet a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to change them - it is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping under pressure. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can help with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and intimacy challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so therapy feels personalized and practical.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect with licensed professionals. Video calls and phone sessions provide face-to-face interaction when needed, while live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter, more immediate check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into varied schedules and life circumstances while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
