Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
In online sessions, Sheila Owens draws from approaches that can be practical, supportive, and easy to apply between appointments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then building skills to respond in more helpful ways. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem challenges.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful when feelings are intense or relationships feel difficult to navigate. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that helps clients work through the impact of distressing experiences at a pace that feels manageable, and it is commonly used when trauma and abuse or grief are part of the picture.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sheila collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit their needs, adjusting over time as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and stay connected through life changes.
