How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Rebecca uses several evidence-based techniques that can be applied in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It gives concrete tools people can practice between meetings.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions or recurring relationship difficulties by teaching steadying skills and step-by-step strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences. That decision evolves as progress is made and new needs appear.

The biography notes live sessions via chat, video, and phone, plus messaging. If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and provide messaging between sessions for ongoing support. Licensed professionals can adapt worksheets, behavioral experiments, and skill coaching to remote formats so therapy remains practical and goal oriented.
