04Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Carri commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for intense emotions and relationship struggles.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's goals and experience. That approach means the therapist listens closely and works with you to shape the work. Together you decide which methods fit your needs and values, making therapy a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, between-session support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy days.
