Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online

Katherine "Kate" Tower, LCSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in online therapy for concerns like stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and relationship strain.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into a struggle with them. It emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking workable steps toward the life someone wants, which can be especially helpful during life transitions or when motivation feels low.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Many clients appreciate having concrete tools they can practice between sessions when coping feels urgent or overwhelming.

Client-Centered Therapy offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what matters most at their own pace. It can be a strong fit for people working on self-esteem, self-compassion, and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Kate collaborates with clients to tailor sessions to their needs, goals, and preferences as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent with care. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules and changing routines.
