Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care

Stephanie Miller-Olsen integrates client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy in her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead to foster insight and personal growth - this approach is well suited to people seeking acceptance and a collaborative space to explore life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and many stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, self-harm urges, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the treatment process, and Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time so the work remains focused and relevant.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility needs and allow for continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. The combination of accessible formats and structured therapeutic approaches supports consistent progress toward meaningful change.
