Online and remote therapy approaches
Kelly Walsh applies a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online sessions to help people identify unhelpful patterns, practice new coping skills, and manage strong emotions. In accessible, skills-focused language, CBT is used to explore connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered principles to strengthen relational understanding and create a collaborative therapeutic relationship. Attachment-informed work explores patterns that shape relationships, and a client-centered stance supports a respectful, strengths-based dialogue focused on the person’s goals.
Kelly offers remote care using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those modes allow her to partner with individuals who prefer interactive skill coaching, reflective conversation, or more flexible check-ins, and she frames each option around client needs and agreed-upon goals.
