Remote therapy approaches and what to expect



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to explore the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In accessible, structured conversations the therapist and client identify patterns that contribute to distress and work together on practical skills and behavior changes to address specific challenges. Sessions can include exercises to practice between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. This approach emphasizes concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and strengthening communication and boundary-setting in relationships. It is often paired with collaborative skill-building tailored to current life demands.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is included among the clinician’s methods for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Throughout remote work the clinician aims to match methods to a person’s needs and preferences so that therapy remains collaborative. Remote options available are video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication styles and schedules.
