Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online

Destiny Aldred, LMSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in a virtual setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new coping skills for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. It can be especially helpful for clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or stuck in recurring relationship or family conflict patterns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach often used to address the effects of trauma and distressing memories, supporting clients in processing experiences in a paced, guided way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Destiny collaborates with clients to understand their goals and preferences, then tailors sessions to what feels most relevant and sustainable over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to access support consistently. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and they can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between scheduled appointments.
