How these approaches work online

Dr. Riecks commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy because they focus on skills and practical changes. CBT helps people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and worry. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for strong emotions, relationship strain, and coping with crisis.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels doable, and then tailor techniques so they match the person's needs. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into a busy life. Video is useful for full conversation and visual cues, phone works with low bandwidth or for a quick check-in, live chat can support shorter exchanges, and messaging helps keep regular contact between sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent care and practice skills in everyday moments.
