Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Angela Roberts uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, respectful space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, validation, and collaboration and can be especially helpful for people working through grief, identity concerns, and relationship challenges.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are primary goals, offering structured tools to reduce intense reactions and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Roberts works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and access licensed professionals from home or work, supporting continuity of care and consistent progress.
