04Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions
Tina commonly blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy into her online work. Client-centered therapy means she focuses on listening, reflecting, and following what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behavior.Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients can expect to try practical strategies, check how they worked, and change course together if needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging fits shorter check-ins, coaching-style work, or situations where typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use formats that match a client's comfort and daily routine.
