Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Support

Charlotte Schafer, LPC, uses an integrative approach that can be especially effective in online therapy because it emphasizes practical skills and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for navigating intense emotions and improving relationships through tools like distress tolerance and emotion regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while reconnecting with personal values and taking meaningful steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Charlotte works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit their preferences, including faith-based counseling when desired.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions, fit support into a busy schedule, and access therapy from a comfortable setting.
