Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It focuses on practical exercises and small changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.DBT teaches emotion regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance skills. These techniques are useful when strong emotions or relationship stress make it hard to cope day to day.
EMDR is used to process distressing memories that continue to affect current life. It involves a structured protocol to reduce the emotional impact of past events and improve functioning in the present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with each person and recommend methods that match their needs. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps.
