Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Erin Spensley, LPC, draws from evidence-based approaches that can be effective in online therapy while staying tailored to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem challenges.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can be especially helpful when life feels overwhelming or when communication and emotional reactivity get in the way of the life a client wants to build.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships and experiences influence current patterns of closeness, trust, and connection. This approach can support clients working through relationship dynamics, trauma, and major life transitions by strengthening insight and creating room for healthier ways of relating.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Erin works collaboratively with clients to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as therapy unfolds.
