Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What to Expect

Dr. Glover commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and personal growth. This approach is helpful for people seeking empathy, validation, and a space to explore goals and values.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that examines patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is useful for people who want structured strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another key approach, offering skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns of impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Glover works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy with Dr. Glover offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across locations, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver active, skills-focused treatment and ongoing support.
