How CBT and Skills Work Online

Rachael often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns and trying small experiments to change how situations feel. It can help with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. DBT adds skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which is useful for mood swings, anger, and trauma-related reactivity.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will ask about current struggles, daily routines, and goals, then suggest ways of working to match those needs. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits the person and their life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are helpful for full conversations and exercises that use visual materials, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, skills coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work days, caregiving schedules, or long-distance situations.
