Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapeutic Care

Erica Rosenthal draws on dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core approaches in her online practice. DBT emphasizes building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She also incorporates attachment-based therapy to explore relational patterns and early relationships that shape current connection and intimacy issues, which can be especially helpful for clients addressing abandonment or family of origin themes.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Erica works with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so treatment stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Erica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity during life transitions, and select the format that feels most comfortable for each client.
