Applying CBT and DBT in Online Therapy

Online sessions with Anupama Masih draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address a range of concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often useful for managing anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms by teaching practical coping skills and problem-solving techniques. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can help clients navigate intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce self-defeating patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anupama works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment aligns with each person’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, skill-based work and ongoing support tailored to each client.
