04Online support
Approach-driven care available online
Lisa commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build emotion regulation skills. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, and mood problems. DBT adds practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving relationships.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and collaboration. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adapt the plan based on what the person finds helpful and manageable.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video works well for a full-session conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options let people access consistent care without traveling and help therapy fit into busy lives.
