Therapeutic approaches for online care
Angela uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or depression. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises and homework to practice new skills between meetings.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming and when better coping strategies are needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing communication and quick skill refreshers between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what works best.
