Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online
Denise Smith draws from approaches that can be effective in an online setting and adaptable to each client’s goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can explore what they are feeling and needing, especially when navigating stress, identity concerns, relationship strain, or major life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that may be fueling anxiety, low mood, or overwhelm. Together, therapist and client can practice practical strategies for responding differently to difficult situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and building steadier coping tools, which can be especially helpful when feelings swing quickly or feel hard to control.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise collaborates with clients to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting the pace and focus based on needs, goals, and preferences over time.
Online therapy also makes support more accessible. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options like live chat or text-based messaging for flexibility between appointments and for clients who communicate best in writing.
