Therapy Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Jermaine Anthony draws from approaches that can be especially practical in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and building on their strengths, with the therapist offering empathy and steady support while the client clarifies what matters most and what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviors that follow, then practice more balanced ways of thinking and responding. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, anger, and self-esteem by emphasizing skills that can be applied between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured strategies for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can be a helpful fit for clients who want clear tools for impulsivity, communication problems, or staying grounded during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jermaine works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the plan as needs evolve.

Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can support busy schedules, travel, and access from many locations, including for international clients.
