Practical, Skills-Based Therapy Online
Christina Laydon, LICSW, uses skills-based approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical tools for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which many people find helpful when navigating relationship conflict, anger, or overwhelming life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions oriented toward what is working, what matters most right now, and small, realistic steps that move life in a better direction.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, identify what “improvement” looks like for them, and choose strategies that fit their needs, preferences, and day-to-day realities. The plan can shift over time as priorities change and new challenges come up.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, and support is available through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to get consistent help, stay engaged between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
