Applying DBT and CBT through online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier ways of responding. It is often used to address anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with motivation by teaching tools for changing thought and behavior patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on helping people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive or self-defeating behaviors. It teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved relationships, making it useful for those who feel overwhelmed by strong feelings.

Carrie Kirchner uses these approaches as part of a collaborative process, working with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She supports clients in trying techniques, tracking progress, and adjusting the plan as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and everyday life. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and engage in therapy from familiar settings with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to each individual.
