Therapy Tools That Translate Well Online
Mankea Collier, LCPC, uses evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practicing new skills that support healthier coping. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and day-to-day behavior change.She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a skills-based approach that emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT tools can be especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or who want practical strategies for responding differently in difficult moments.
Motivational Interviewing is another supportive approach that helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen their own reasons for change, which can be useful when working through habits, addictions, or major life transitions. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Mankea collaborates with clients to tailor therapy to their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with support. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, parenting demands, or times when leaving home feels like too much.
