How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting working relationship. In practice this means sessions are guided by the client's priorities and Cassandra adjusts pace and goals to what feels most helpful.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can be practiced between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and grounding that people can use during hard moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that match those needs. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together to find a better fit.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions work for low-bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or skill coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work when life is hectic.
