Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Theresa Bowes, LMHC, draws from approaches that can be practical and supportive in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client’s lived experience and values, creating a steady, accepting space to explore emotions, relationships, and life transitions while moving at a pace that feels manageable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can notice unhelpful patterns and practice more workable responses. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and coping with change by building concrete skills that can be used between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be especially helpful when life feels intense or overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then adjusts the pace and focus as needs evolve over time.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet with Theresa through video calls or phone sessions, and may also use live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a format that fits real-life schedules and comfort levels.
