Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related difficulties.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and improving day-to-day coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kris Horton collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
