Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rebecca Holland draws on evidence-based approaches to guide online work and skill building. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion practices that can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Rebecca will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past to determine which combination of techniques fits best for their situation.

Online sessions through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling, help reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to virtual formats so that clients can learn skills, process emotions, and work toward goals from locations that suit their needs.
