Therapeutic tools that translate well to online care

Dr. Mary Jane Preece draws from approaches that can be practical and engaging in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a supportive space where clients can explore what they feel and what they want, which can be especially helpful when stress, grief, or life transitions make it hard to know where to start.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, then experimenting with new skills and perspectives. Many people use CBT to work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and day-to-day coping challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can be useful when anger, overwhelm, or relationship strain feels difficult to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Preece works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what is most pressing right now, then adjusts the pace and tools over time to fit the client’s needs.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable week to week.
