How Abby’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead so sessions feel relevant and respectful. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to figure out their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build more effective habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. These skills are useful when emotions feel intense or when behavior change is a goal.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and choose techniques that fit their needs and preferences. Adjustments can be made as work progresses so the plan stays useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or exercises between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
