Evidence-Based Tools, Brought Online
Esther Dubique, LCSW, draws from practical, research-informed approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be especially helpful when emotions feel heavy or stuck. ACT emphasizes building psychological flexibility by learning to make room for difficult feelings while taking steps guided by personal values, which can support resilience through life transitions, grief, and ongoing stressors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can also be integrated to strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which many clients find useful when navigating conflict, overwhelm, or intensity in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Esther collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit current needs.
Online sessions make support more accessible and flexible. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay connected between sessions in a way that fits real life schedules.
