Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online

Maxine Douglas incorporates evidence-informed approaches that can be well suited to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can be a helpful fit for clients who want structured tools to build steadier day-to-day coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking values-based steps toward the life they want, which can be meaningful when working through grief, trauma impacts, or long-standing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maxine works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals and preferences, and to adjust the pace and strategies over time so the work remains relevant and supportive.

Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and access care from wherever they are in Georgia.
