Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Kari Mackneer draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effectively used in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s pace, values, and goals guide the work, which can be especially helpful when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. In sessions, clients can learn practical ways to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with new coping strategies, which may support concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This structured, skills-based approach can be useful for managing intense emotions, strengthening boundaries, and improving relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kari works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she can adjust the focus as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule or access care from home or while traveling.
