04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Carolyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and straightforward strategies people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be useful for people who struggle with mood swings, anger, or intense reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carolyn will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjust techniques so the work fits the person's life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quicker updates, skill practice, and follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on goals from different settings.
