Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Norah Knabe draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work well in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what they feel and need, which can be especially helpful when stress, grief, or life changes make it hard to think clearly.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused approach that helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and experiment with new responses. It is often used to support concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress management by building tools that can be practiced between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be a good fit for clients who feel emotions intensely or want more structure for navigating conflict and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Norah collaborates with clients to clarify goals and preferences, then adjusts the pace and tools to match what feels most helpful over time.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into real life.
