Therapy approaches that translate well to online care
Diane DeRuyter draws from evidence-informed methods that can work well in a virtual setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with personal values, supporting steadier progress when life feels stuck or overwhelming. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when reactions feel intense or hard to manage.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to change, what has and has not helped before, and what style of support feels most comfortable. Together, they can adapt the pace and tools to fit the client’s goals and preferences.
Online therapy adds flexibility without losing structure or momentum. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and support can also include live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit therapy into a busy week, and reach out in the moments when support would be most useful.
