Online therapy approaches that fit real life
Lauren Knepp, LCSW, draws from practical, skills-based approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to support concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem struggles.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping skills for intense emotions and relationship challenges, including tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. Mindfulness Therapy helps clients build awareness of what is happening in the present moment, which can be useful for managing stress, worry, and feeling disconnected from oneself.
