CBT and DBT Approaches for Flexible Online Care

Carolyn Allen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her online practice to provide practical skills and emotional regulation tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and it is often used to address anxiety, stress, and low mood by teaching concrete strategies for coping and problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and it can be helpful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing reactive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carolyn works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy with Carolyn is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care, fit sessions into busy routines, and maintain momentum between appointments while working toward personal goals.
