Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to build present-moment awareness and reduce rumination.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Rebecca will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques, note what helps, and adjust the plan so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging works for quick check-ins, ongoing tracking, and when writing helps people process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
