Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. It helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks larger problems into smaller steps and teaches practical skills for changing thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions, handling distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with mood swings and relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jesse will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to change. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy days and different routines.
