Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Evalee Smith draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effectively used in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently, which many people find useful when working through stress, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping challenges.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. It can be a helpful fit for clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, struggle with impulsive reactions, or want support building steadier coping habits.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape expectations, trust, and connection. This approach can be especially relevant for relationship concerns, feelings of abandonment, and patterns that repeat across family or intimate partnerships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Evalee Smith collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that match what they want to work on, adjusting the plan as needs evolve.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit support into a busy schedule, and access care from wherever a client is located.
