Practical approaches for online support
Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce stress and anger. CBT is hands-on and works well for mood, anxiety, and everyday reactions to stress.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. DBT tools can be helpful when emotions feel intense and managing reactions is a priority.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their life. Clients and therapist adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for on-the-go check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking.
