Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Evidence-Based Tools
Lisa Dorfman draws from several approaches that can translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting clients who want steadier coping strategies and healthier relationship patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method often used to work through the impact of traumatic experiences, helping clients process what happened and reduce how strongly it shows up in the present.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped in the past, and tailor sessions to preferences and pace, adjusting the tools as needs evolve.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with care. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or days when leaving home feels like too much. This range of options helps clients choose the format that feels most comfortable and workable.
