Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Matthew "Matt" Forbes, LCSW, draws on approaches that can be especially practical in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns, practice new coping skills, and respond differently to stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem over time.

He also incorporates Existential Therapy, which explores meaning, values, and the choices people face during change, loss, or uncertainty. This approach can be helpful for clients who feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure about their direction, and for those working through grief and major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Matt works collaboratively with clients to understand what matters most to them, clarify goals, and choose strategies that fit their preferences and pace. Licensed professionals often adjust the structure of sessions as needs evolve, whether the focus is skill-building, emotional processing, or both.

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 stay consistent, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and get support in a format that feels comfortable and accessible.
