Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Dr. Anita Russell draws from approaches that can be especially practical in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while clarifying what matters most and what they want to change. It can be a strong fit for concerns like self-esteem, grief, or major life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new skills that support day-to-day coping, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, often supporting clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or rapid shifts in mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Russell works collaboratively with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting strategies over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during travel, and choose the format that feels most comfortable from session to session.
