Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Carmen Greenstein integrates evidence-based methods that can be effective in online therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing practical skills to respond differently. It is often used to support people who feel stuck in cycles of worry, low mood, or self-criticism. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage. Attachment-Based Therapy helps clients understand how early relationship experiences can shape current connection patterns, including fears of abandonment, difficulties with trust, or challenges with closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carmen collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what is most pressing, and choose strategies that fit each person’s needs and preferences, adjusting as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and access support from wherever is most convenient.
