Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care

Lois Pratt commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for navigating intense emotions and anger.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lois Pratt works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors methods so therapy fits the person's life and circumstances. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose what feels most manageable. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care around work, family, and other commitments while working with licensed professionals to address stress, relationship concerns, trauma, and mood challenges.
