Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and following the person's goals, helping people feel heard and supported as they identify what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and build helpful routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsay will work with each person to identify goals and try techniques that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions may include skill practice, short exercises, or homework to reinforce what was covered in conversation.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different days and needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation time, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief problem solving between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the therapeutic approaches above.
