Therapy Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Sharon Sterling, LCSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that work well in an online setting, especially for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then practicing new responses that better support day-to-day life. It can be especially helpful for managing anxious thinking, low mood, and the pressure that builds during difficult transitions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for uncomfortable emotions while reconnecting with what matters most. Rather than getting stuck in a fight with thoughts or feelings, ACT emphasizes values-based actions that can support purpose, self-compassion, and resilience.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can be useful when emotions feel intense, relationships feel strained, or communication is difficult.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals and preferences and to choose strategies that fit the client’s needs.
Online therapy also adds flexibility. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support in a way that fits real life.
