Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Dr. Daphney Rene draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns such as depression, anger, and day-to-day overwhelm.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. This approach can be especially helpful when grief, stress, or ongoing life challenges make it hard to feel grounded or move forward. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, supporting clients who want tools they can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Rene collaborates with each client to understand needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors the work to match what feels most helpful and sustainable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into busy schedules, continue care during travel or life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable from session to session.
