How therapeutic approaches fit with online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood and to change unhelpful patterns. DBT, or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance and handling difficult situations without harmful behaviour. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and boosts motivation for goals such as career shifts or health routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods and adapt the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where techniques can be combined to suit the person and the issue they want to address.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and non-verbal cues, phone works well when internet bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or step-by-step coaching. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring responsibilities and travel, while keeping focus on the goals you set with your therapist.
