Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Karen Palmer draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts or emotions while taking steps toward what matters most. This approach can support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by worry, grief, or major life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can be helpful when feelings are intense or relationships feel strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karen works collaboratively with clients to understand what brings them to therapy, what they want to change, and what kinds of tools feel most realistic and supportive. The pace and strategies can be adjusted as goals become clearer.
Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can reduce scheduling barriers and make support more accessible during busy weeks.
