Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Hill-Silcott commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client’s experience, offering empathy and reflection so people can explore feelings and make choices. DBT teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships, which can help with anger, self-harm urges, and intense mood swings.

Finding the best approach is a joint effort. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and written reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule regular work on challenges from different locations and daily routines.
