Therapeutic approaches for online care

Stefanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that keep them stuck and to practice new behaviors that lead to better outcomes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems where changing thoughts and actions can reduce distress.

She also uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes the person’s perspective and pace. This means sessions focus on listening, building understanding, and working from the client’s goals. Stefanie may add elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance when strong emotions interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stefanie will work with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts tools and pacing over time as progress and preferences become clear.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a tighter schedule or use less bandwidth, and messaging options support brief check-ins or ongoing contact between live sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy routines while keeping consistent progress on goals.
