Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online

Alyssa “Petersen” Domel draws from approaches that can be effective in an online setting, especially when clients want practical skills and a supportive, steady relationship with their therapist.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly and clarify what matters most. It can be especially helpful when someone is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when feelings run intense or relationships feel difficult to navigate.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alyssa works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals and preferences, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit what they need most right now.

Online therapy can make support easier to access and maintain. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel limits, or times when meeting in person feels like one more hurdle.
