Remote therapy tailored to skills and values
Ina Thompson offers remote sessions that bring established therapeutic methods into practical, digital formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to develop concrete strategies for change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present.
These approaches are presented collaboratively: sessions include goal setting, skill practice, and ongoing review so that work between meetings supports real-life progress. The clinician adapts pacing and techniques to individual needs while maintaining a strengths-oriented focus.
Remote appointments are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and can be conducted in English or German. This range of communication options is intended to accommodate different preferences for how to engage in therapeutic work.
