Practical Online Therapy With Evidence-Based Tools
Barbara Haslip, LMSW, draws from several approaches that can translate well to online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what matters most to them, build insight, and set meaningful goals at a comfortable pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practice more effective ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when feelings feel intense or relationships feel hard to navigate.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Barbara works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and to choose tools that fit the moment and can evolve over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to get support that fits busy schedules, changing energy levels, or different communication styles, while still keeping therapy structured and goal-oriented.
