Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Erika Luhn, LCPC, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, helping clients notice patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship stress, and then practice new ways of responding.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be especially helpful when feelings run intense, conflicts escalate, or life transitions create instability. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method often used for trauma and painful past experiences, supporting clients in processing what happened so it feels less activating in the present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions, making support more accessible within busy schedules and changing circumstances.
