Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Laura Husband draws from approaches that can be especially practical in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where the client sets the pace and goals, which can be helpful when stress, grief, relationship strain, or life transitions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practice new ways of responding. It is often used to build day-to-day coping skills for concerns like anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura collaborates with each client to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped before, and what style of support feels most comfortable, then adjusts the plan over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent by offering multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This flexibility can support therapy that fits real schedules and real life.
