How Melissa’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Melissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ideas in simple, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes setting short-term goals and adjusting techniques based on what helps most.

In general, online work can help sessions fit into busy schedules and make it easier to maintain continuity between appointments. Some people find online visits helpful for shorter check-ins or when they need to balance work and caregiving demands. The focus remains on practical skills and small changes that can be practiced in daily life.
