Applying core therapeutic approaches to online care

Ross blends client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in online settings. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect and collaboration - the therapist creates a supportive space and follows the person’s lead to help them access strengths and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy combines acceptance and change strategies, offering concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improving relationships, which can be especially helpful for intense mood swings or self-destructive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ross works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time to reflect progress and changing priorities. This cooperative process helps tailor care whether work focuses on addiction recovery, trauma processing, relationship repair or improving daily functioning.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or geographic distance. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver evidence-informed interventions, teach coping skills, and maintain regular contact, making it easier to continue work between sessions and fit therapy into everyday life.
