Approaches for Online Care and Skills-Based Work

Rochelle commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and teaching practical skills to change thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support people managing intense emotions or relationship challenges.

She also uses client-centered principles that prioritize the person's experience, fostering a collaborative relationship where the therapist and client decide together which tools and strategies fit best. Determining the right approach is part of the process - Rochelle works with clients to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and personal preferences so therapy feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain consistency between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, while still focusing on effective skill building and meaningful progress.
