She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help people stay present and manage strong emotions. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy add skills for tolerating distress and improving emotional balance.

How specific approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy is about listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions give space for each person to tell their story and set goals they care about, without a rigid agenda. This approach helps people feel understood and keeps work focused on their priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and actions that keep problems going. In remote sessions, CBT uses practical exercises, thought records, and behavior plans that can be practiced between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, and repetitive worries.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and tolerating stress. Online DBT-style work often teaches breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and step-by-step methods for handling crisis moments without harmful behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use shorter check-ins during a busy week. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or health-related routines.
