Therapeutic tools that translate well to online sessions

Aimee Dinschel draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online format. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work, which can be especially helpful when someone is feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, or major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practicing more balanced ways of thinking and responding. It often supports clients who feel stuck in cycles like panic, people-pleasing, or harsh self-criticism by turning insight into concrete, day-to-day coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aimee works collaboratively, adjusting the pace and focus based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what is most pressing in the moment.

Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule while still building consistency and momentum in therapy.
