Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online

Chantal MacDonald draws from approaches that can be effective in online therapy and adaptable to different goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, or daily overwhelm start to take over. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, offering structure for people who want practical tools they can use between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and ongoing relationships shape coping and connection, which can be helpful when relationship concerns, grief, or past experiences are affecting the present.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chantal works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has and has not worked before, and what feels most comfortable, then adjusts the focus over time as needs change.

Online therapy also makes support more accessible. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and stay engaged between sessions.
