Therapeutic approaches and online care
Natalie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that feed anger, anxiety, or low mood. CBT focuses on simple, concrete steps and short exercises that you can practice between sessions.She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills into work with strong emotions. DBT offers practical tools for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and handling impulsivity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationship patterns or connection issues are central, helping people name feelings and shift interaction patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels doable and meaningful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see and talk in real time, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice skills in real situations.
