04Online support
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Corrie commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop clearer, more useful ways of thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related difficulties.She also draws on dialectical behavior skills which teach concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help when relationships feel intense or when emotions become overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. Corrie will review your goals, preferences, and life circumstances and adjust techniques over time. The process is collaborative so the treatment plan reflects what matters to you and what actually helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations when face-to-face interaction helps. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when speaking aloud is easier. Live chat and text-based messaging work for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or situations when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make scheduling more flexible and let therapy fit into busy lives.
