Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Regina uses a mix of CBT and DBT influenced techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and learn emotion regulation skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thought patterns and small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or eating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal communication, which can help with anger, relationship stress, and self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Regina will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges to determine which methods to try first. She adapts the plan as progress is made so tools match each person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed during a busy day. Chat and messaging work well for frequent brief check-ins, tracking practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats help people fit therapy into work, family, and health routines.
