Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Laura Chilson draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online therapy while staying focused on practical, real-life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practice new responses that better support goals, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, offering structure for people navigating intense emotions, relationship strain, or life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences can shape current connection, trust, and coping, which may be helpful when working through trauma, abandonment concerns, or recurring relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura collaborates with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and what feels like a good fit, adjusting the plan as needs and priorities evolve.
Online therapy also makes support more accessible. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and they can use live chat or text-based messaging when speaking out loud is difficult or schedules are tight. This flexibility can make it easier to stay consistent and continue building momentum between sessions.
