Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Evidence-Based Approaches
Diane DeRuyter draws from approaches that help clients understand what is happening internally and practice new ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then building skills to shift them - often useful for stress, anxiety, and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult feelings while taking steps aligned with personal values, which can support people who feel stuck or discouraged. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, helping clients handle intense emotions with more balance.Finding the right fit is part of the process. Diane collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what has and has not worked before, and choose strategies that match each person’s needs and preferences. The approach can evolve over time as new insights and challenges arise.
Online therapy also makes support more accessible and flexible. Clients can meet with Diane through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging when that format feels more convenient. These options can help therapy fit into real life, whether someone is managing a busy schedule or navigating a major transition.
