How therapy approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, looks at the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and tasks to help people change unhelpful thinking and build better coping habits. This can be useful for anxiety, depression and many stress-related issues.DBT, or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, and is useful when someone struggles with overwhelming feelings or self-harm urges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then decide with the client which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still accessing structured support from registered or accredited professionals.
