Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Support
Linda Flynn, LCSW, draws from evidence-based approaches that can be effective in online therapy, especially for concerns such as recovery from narcissistic abuse, addiction, and depression.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. In sessions, clients learn to identify unhelpful patterns and practice more balanced ways of thinking and responding, which can support day-to-day coping and stability.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can be especially helpful for building steadier routines and strengthening emotional regulation when life feels overwhelming.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape emotional safety, self-trust, and connection. For clients healing from invalidating or controlling relationships, this approach can help make sense of relational patterns and support healthier boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Linda collaborates with clients to choose strategies that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the work as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also offers flexibility and accessibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get consistent support within a busy schedule or from a comfortable setting.
