Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Maxine Douglas integrates evidence-informed approaches that can be especially practical in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and shifting them toward more balanced, workable perspectives, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, supporting greater flexibility, resilience, and values-based action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support clients managing intense emotions, relationship strain, or overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maxine Douglas collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, then adjusts the therapeutic tools and pace to fit what is most helpful over time.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access support from home or another comfortable space.
