Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building

Julie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and to try small experiments that lead to change. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clear steps and homework to practice between sessions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening space where a person feels heard and respected. This approach focuses on the client's goals and values, and supports decision making through empathetic reflection.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are brought in when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns are a concern. DBT offers concrete tools for handling intense feelings and improving interactions with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging works for ongoing support and short updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
