Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Dr. Aqueelah Wheatley draws from structured, skills-based approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, then practicing practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns that can show up in stress, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. It is often a good fit for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or who want clearer boundaries and steadier relationship skills. Attachment-Based Therapy can also support clients in understanding how earlier relationship experiences influence current connection, trust, and communication, especially during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Wheatley collaborates with each client to clarify goals, identify what feels most helpful, and adjust the pace and focus over time so the work matches the client's needs and preferences.

Online therapy adds flexibility and access while keeping care consistent. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions, reflect in real time, and practice new skills in everyday life.
