Approaches that translate well to online care
Arielle commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name their goals and feel heard; this helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses simple experiments and practice to change unhelpful patterns; it suits anxiety, depression, and anger when people want concrete skills.She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when strong emotions need more structure. DBT offers practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense reactions and reduce impulsive behaviors. Choosing an approach is collaborative – the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what is used based on progress and preference.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it easy to send quick updates, practice skills in writing, or check in between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility needs.
