Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Chris Goetz integrates approaches that can be effective in an online setting, especially for clients looking for both insight and practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building more workable ways of thinking and responding, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strain.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This can be a helpful fit for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, conflict, impulsive urges, or long-standing patterns that are hard to shift. She also draws from attachment-based work, which explores how early relationships can shape present-day connection, trust, and boundaries, especially after trauma, emotional abuse, or complicated grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chris collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and pace, and she adjusts the focus as needs change over time.
Online therapy can make support more accessible and flexible. Clients may meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions and continue building momentum in day-to-day life.
