CBT and DBT tools for online care
Ashley often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and focuses on skills you can use between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT skills teach ways to calm intense feelings, communicate clearly, and handle crises without making things worse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She explains options, tries different tools, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or get brief guidance without scheduling a full call. These formats make care easier to fit around work, school, or family commitments.
