Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress and mood concerns and then practicing concrete strategies to shift those patterns. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and difficulties with coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and respond to stressful situations more effectively.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. Laura will discuss goals, preferences, and specific challenges to determine which techniques fit best and will adjust strategies over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to access care from home, work, or other convenient locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity when travel or busy days arise, and support ongoing skill practice between sessions with licensed professionals and therapists who can meet clients where they are.
