Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Julie Otis draws from approaches that can be practical and meaningful in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building skills to respond differently to stress, anxiety, and day-to-day triggers. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful when reactions feel intense or hard to manage. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape present-day connection, helping clients make sense of patterns in closeness, trust, and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and which strategies feel most realistic for their life. The goal is to create a plan that matches each client’s needs, goals, and preferences while allowing room to adjust as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to engage in the work. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, keep momentum between sessions, and access help from a comfortable setting.
