Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Kay Beard draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, then practicing skills that support steadier mood and more helpful patterns, often for concerns like stress, anxiety, and depression.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and communication. It can be especially useful when emotions feel intense, relationships feel strained, or coping skills need strengthening during difficult seasons of life.
Client-Centered Therapy offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly and clarify what they need, including when exploring identity questions or recovering from painful experiences. The pace and focus are shaped around the client’s values and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay collaborates with clients to understand what brings them in, what they want to change, and what feels comfortable, then adjusts the plan to fit their needs over time.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into busy schedules, and get support in the way that works best day to day.
