Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Dr. Mary Jane Preece draws from approaches that can be especially practical in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building new ways to respond, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, supporting clients who feel overwhelmed or stuck in reactive cycles. Client-Centered Therapy offers a steady, supportive space where the client’s goals and pace guide the work, which can be helpful during life transitions, grief, or when clarity is hard to find.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Preece works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting tools and pacing based on needs, goals, and preferences over time.

Online therapy also makes it easier to fit support into real life. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or times when getting to an office feels like one more thing to manage.
