Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Laura Calabro works with several evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online formats. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal communication - it can be especially helpful for people struggling with intense emotions, relationship challenges, or patterns of impulsive behavior. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, supporting recovery from past traumatic events. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns rooted in past relationships and attachment, helping clients understand recurring themes in their feelings and behavior and create new ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and she adapts methods over time as needs evolve. This shared planning helps ensure therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, through live chat, or via text messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to access support from different locations. Licensed professionals deliver these services and can tailor pacing and format so clients receive consistent support in the way that suits them best.
