Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online
Jamie Blakeman, LCPC, draws from practical, skills-based approaches that can work well in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of thinking and responding. It is often used to support concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress by connecting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in everyday situations.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes building coping skills for intense emotions, relationship strain, and impulsive reactions. It commonly includes tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and communication, helping clients practice steadier responses when life feels overwhelming.
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client sets the pace. It can be especially helpful for people seeking clarity during life changes, grief, or ongoing challenges, with the therapeutic relationship serving as a foundation for growth.
