Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking and practical behavioral changes - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - it is especially useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact, supporting recovery from trauma and related symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carla will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit. The therapist partners with clients to tailor interventions and support progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier for people to access licensed professionals from home, while maintaining continuity of care and allowing therapy to adapt to changing life demands.
