Approaches and Online Care with Licensed Therapists

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical in orientation and often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, builds skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for strong emotions, impulsivity, and situations where learning coping skills is a priority.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on patterns of emotion and attachment, especially within couples and close relationships. It helps partners and family members understand how emotional responses shape interaction and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lannie Cox and other licensed professionals work collaboratively with each person to identify goals, consider preferences, and adapt methods so therapy fits the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access therapists from different locations while working together on practical strategies and emotional growth.
