Zebrina aims to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship that centers each person’s goals, strengths, and preferences.

Online CBT and DBT for Practical Coping

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns by teaching concrete skills for problem solving and mood management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns of impulsive behavior.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Zebrina works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and tailors the mix of CBT and DBT strategies to fit each person’s situation. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into everyday life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide treatment.
