CBT and DBT Practices Adapted for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In practice this can look like learning skills to manage anxiety, address negative self-talk, and develop step-by-step plans to approach stressful situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. It is often useful for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and strengthening communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa Peter works collaboratively with each client to determine whether CBT, DBT, or a combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy aligns with what a person wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let clients access care from home, work, or wherever they are most comfortable. This range of options can make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, try different formats for skill practice, and fit therapy into a busy life while still working with a licensed professional.
