Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online
Esther Priegue draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured support for understanding how past experiences may be affecting the present, while strengthening coping strategies and a sense of stability.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esther collaborates with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and what pace feels workable. Together, client and therapist can tailor sessions to fit individual goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as needs evolve.
Online therapy adds flexibility without losing the consistency of regular support. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay engaged in therapy alongside work, family responsibilities, or changing schedules.
