Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Lisa Butler, LCSW, draws from several structured and relationship-focused methods that can work well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another, then practice more helpful patterns. It is often used when someone wants practical tools for stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, or navigating major life transitions.

She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early and ongoing relationship experiences can shape trust, connection, and emotional responses. This approach can be especially supportive for clients working through relationship conflict, abandonment concerns, or patterns that keep showing up in family and romantic relationships.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes concrete skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be a good fit for clients who want step-by-step strategies for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and responding more intentionally under pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa collaborates with clients to understand needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts therapy over time to support steady progress.

Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with care by offering multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This flexibility can help therapy fit into busy schedules, changing routines, and different comfort levels with communication.
