Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Erin Smith integrates structured, skills-based approaches with a supportive, relationship-focused style, which can work well in an online format.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns, practice new coping strategies, and take practical steps toward goals related to anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is often helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, are navigating relationship conflict, or want concrete tools for staying grounded during difficult moments.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions aligned with personal values. It can be a good fit when someone feels stuck, is working through ongoing stress, or wants to strengthen resilience and flexibility.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erin works collaboratively with clients to clarify needs, goals, and preferences, and to adjust strategies over time based on what is most useful.
Online therapy also offers flexibility: clients can connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and access care from wherever they are.
