Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Sheri Bettenhausen draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more workable coping strategies for concerns such as depression, anxiety, and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating relationships. It can be especially helpful for clients who feel overwhelmed by intense feelings or are working to respond differently during conflict or life transitions. Sheri also incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy, which supports clients in understanding the impact of trauma and building steadier ways to cope while moving toward healing at a manageable pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sheri collaborates with clients to clarify goals, explore preferences, and choose strategies that fit their needs, adjusting along the way as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit support into a busy schedule, and access care from home or wherever feels most comfortable.
