Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Ruth Vivian draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially helpful for people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship strain.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can be a good fit for clients who want structured tools they can practice between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is often used to help people process difficult memories and reduce the lingering impact of trauma and abuse. It follows a step-by-step process and can support clients who feel stuck in patterns connected to past experiences.
Psychodynamic therapy explores how earlier relationships and life experiences may shape current emotions, choices, and relationships. It can be helpful for people who want deeper insight into recurring themes such as anxiety, conflict, or feeling overwhelmed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ruth collaborates with clients to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences, and therapy can evolve as those needs change.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a format that matches daily life.
