Therapeutic approaches for online care
Thomas (Thom) Wilder commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience through empathic listening and collaboration, supporting growth by honoring the client’s own goals and values. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties by teaching practical skills and strategies. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for managing strong emotions, relationship conflicts, and long-standing patterns that cause distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wilder works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts plans as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to meet the whole person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or caregiving responsibilities interfere, and access support from different locations while working together with a licensed professional to address pressing concerns.
