Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Margaret Elkins draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be used effectively through online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering structured support when feelings are intense or relationships feel hard to navigate. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a method often used to help people process difficult experiences and reduce how strongly those memories show up in the present.Finding the right approach is part of the work, not something a client has to figure out alone. Margaret collaborates with each client to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped in the past, and what feels like a good fit for their goals and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent when life is busy. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility while still maintaining momentum between sessions.
