How DBT and CBT Translate to Online Therapy
Whitney Walker draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to structure online work in a way that is practical and skills-focused. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through clear exercises and strategies, making it useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related concerns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills, which supports those struggling with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and mood instability.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Whitney approaches that choice collaboratively. She works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors interventions so the techniques fit the client rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexibility to engage in video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to practice CBT and DBT skills between sessions and to maintain consistency, which can support steady progress over time.
