Using CBT and DBT in Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical strategies for changing thoughts and reactions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for strong mood swings, relationship strain, and challenges managing intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. A licensed professional will work collaboratively with each person to determine whether CBT, DBT, or a combination of methods best aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are conducted, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access consistent support from therapists from home or another convenient location.
