Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Donald "Bo" Hardy draws from several 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 especially useful when working on stress, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day challenges related to ADHD.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, handling conflict, and staying grounded during difficult moments. Many clients use DBT-style tools to strengthen coping, reduce overwhelm, and improve relationships. Mindfulness Therapy also supports steady attention and present-moment awareness, helping clients build space between feelings and actions and develop more intentional habits over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bo works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are hoping to change, what has or has not worked before, and which strategies feel realistic for their life and learning style. Sessions can be tailored to skill-building, problem-solving, or processing, depending on the client’s goals.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This format can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule while still staying connected to a consistent therapeutic plan.
