How CBT and DBT translate to online therapy

CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to ease symptoms like anxiety and depression. It involves setting clear goals, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new thinking patterns between sessions.

DBT emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving relationships. It teaches specific techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication that are useful for trauma, intense anxiety, and problems with interpersonal closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which skills and methods fit their goals and daily life. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and needs change.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a shorter visit is helpful. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit your routine and support steady progress.
