How cognitive and skill-based approaches work online

Rochelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change everyday habits that maintain stress or low mood. CBT focuses on clear, step-by-step strategies and homework that translate well to virtual formats.

She also brings a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals central and tailors sessions to how the person prefers to work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities; these are taught through guided practice and role-play that can be done over video or chat.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Rochelle will listen to a person's concerns, discuss options, and together decide which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for teaching new skills with demonstration and practice, phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins and ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work on skills from home, work, or on the go.
