04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early bonds shape current connections. It focuses on how patterns of closeness and distance show up now and teaches new ways to feel and respond in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thinking, feeling, and behavior links and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and relationship-related thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. It is helpful when strong emotions lead to impulsive behavior or repeated crises.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and try strategies together to see what fits. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and new concerns arise.
Online therapy with Mary uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video can support face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
