Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Ruth Vivian draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in online therapy settings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building practical skills for managing intense emotions, coping with stress, and improving relationships through tools like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and communication strategies.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach often used for trauma and distressing memories. It helps clients process experiences that may still feel “stuck,” so they can respond to reminders with more steadiness in the present. Trauma-Focused Therapy also centers on understanding how trauma can shape thoughts, emotions, and day-to-day coping, while supporting safer, more workable ways to move forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ruth collaborates with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts the pace and methods over time so therapy stays relevant and supportive.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access from wherever a client is located, including for international clients. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
