Remote therapy options and clinical approaches



Rita provides online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapeutic work accessible across distances. Her practice adapts evidence-informed techniques to the remote environment so that conversations, skills work, and reflective exercises can continue by phone or on screen.

She frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT is described in accessible terms as a way to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice concrete strategies for change. DBT is presented as a skills-oriented approach that supports emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. Rita also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help clients clarify values, build psychological flexibility, and explore relational patterns.

Clients who prefer collaborative planning and practical skill-building may find a fit with her style online; she will tailor sessions to client goals and to the chosen remote format of video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
