How certain approaches translate to online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress. It breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical skills people can use between sessions.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It offers concrete skills for handling intense feelings and improving communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.
