How these approaches translate to online therapy

Gerri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework you can try between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address compulsive habits.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and build acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action. This approach can help with grief, chronic worry, and making meaningful life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are useful for managing intense emotions, anger, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. Treatment plans are revised over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy lets people connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for interactive skills practice and face-to-face discussion. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is low. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching notes, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility for scheduling and for working in ways that match each person's routine.
