Therapy Methods
We understand that effective online therapy must be as diverse as the people we serve. Our therapists are skilled in a variety of therapeutic approaches, each designed to address different aspects of mental health and personal growth.
CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thinking patterns and behaviors. Through structured sessions, clients learn practical self-help strategies to solve current problems and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
DBT is effective for those who feel emotions very intensely. This therapy combines standard cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation with concepts of distress tolerance, acceptance, and mindful awareness largely derived from Buddhist meditative practice.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people reduce suffering by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions aligned with their values. It builds psychological flexibility so individuals can live more meaningfully even in the presence of challenges.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) helps people confront anxiety-triggering situations in a structured way while intentionally resisting the urge to engage in compulsions. This process retrains the brain to recognize that feared outcomes don’t occur, reducing anxiety and restoring a sense of control.
Mindfulness therapy teaches individuals how to focus their attention on the present moment, which helps reduce stress and promote relaxation. It is often used in various therapeutic practices to help improve overall mental health
Attachment-focused therapy works primarily with clients to address attachment issues, helping them develop healthier relationships with others. It is based on the understanding that early relationships with caregivers can significantly influence your emotional health.
This therapy focuses on what clients want to achieve through therapy, rather than on past problems. Therapists guide clients to develop a vision of the future and offer support as they determine the skills, resources, and abilities needed to achieve that vision.
Narrative therapy is a respectful and non-blaming approach that centers people as the experts in their own lives. It views problems as separate from individuals and assumes people have many skills, beliefs, values, commitments, and abilities that will assist them to reduce the influence of problems in their lives.
This approach to therapy takes into account the holistic understanding of trauma, recognizing the prevalence and impact of trauma and the complex paths to healing and recovery. It emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety for both providers and survivors.
