Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Rachel Khan-McCroy, LCSW, draws from several evidence-informed approaches that adapt naturally to online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and priorities. This approach can be especially helpful when someone is navigating grief, self-esteem concerns, or major life changes and wants to feel understood while sorting through what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps connect thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in practical ways. Together, therapist and client can identify patterns that keep stress, depression, or anxiety going and then practice skills that support steadier coping in day-to-day life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when feelings run intense or overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel works collaboratively, adjusting the focus based on a client’s goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful over time.
Online therapy also makes support more accessible and flexible. Clients can meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay engaged with therapy even during busy weeks, travel, or shifting schedules.
