Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Ashanti Palatnik draws from approaches that can be especially helpful in online therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships and patterns of connection can shape emotions, self-worth, and relationships today. This lens can be useful for clients working through relationship stress, feelings of abandonment, or difficulty trusting others.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with more balanced ways of thinking and responding. It is often used to support concerns like anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem by turning insights into practical, everyday skills.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping tools for intense emotions, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. It can be a good fit for clients who feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in cycles they want to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Ashanti collaborates with clients to identify what best fits their goals, needs, and preferences. Therapy can evolve over time as priorities become clearer.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into real life and keep momentum between sessions.
