How Terry’s Approaches Work Online
CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions with Terry focus on practical exercises, tracking patterns, and setting small homework tasks to try between meetings.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. In teletherapy DBT work, clients practice specific skills, role-play responses, and build step-by-step plans for intense moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terry will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit best based on goals, daily routines, and what feels doable. She adjusts pacing and techniques so the work matches real life rather than a fixed program.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they prefer, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins with less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging support quick problem solving or ongoing coaching between sessions.
