04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Gail draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build flexible coping skills. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and depression, while DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to relate to others.She also uses Mindfulness techniques to help clients notice their experience without getting swept up in it. Mindfulness can reduce reactivity and improve sleep, concentration, and day-to-day calm. These approaches are offered in a collaborative way - Gail will listen to your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. Together you will track progress and adjust techniques until they fit your needs.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can pick what works with their schedule. Video is useful for full conversations and skill teaching, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. This flexibility makes regular care easier to fit into busy lives.
