Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Andrea Gahagan, LCSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing practical strategies that support healthier responses to stress, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, building distress tolerance, and improving relationships through clearer communication and boundaries. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen commitment to change, which can be especially useful when working on substance use or other behavior shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea partners with clients to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped in the past, and what feels realistic right now, then adjusts the pace and focus to fit their goals and preferences.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent, get support between sessions when needed, and choose a format that fits your schedule and comfort level.
