Therapeutic tools that translate well to online sessions
Melissa Geraci, LCSW, draws from structured and insight-oriented approaches that can be well suited to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, or depression start to affect daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping tools like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting clients who want concrete strategies for intense emotions, relationship strain, or impulsive urges. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps clients process the impact of traumatic experiences at a manageable pace while strengthening grounding and coping skills for the present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melissa collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped in the past, and choose methods that fit their preferences and needs. As therapy progresses, the plan can be adjusted to stay aligned with what feels most helpful and achievable.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to keep consistency, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access support from home or another comfortable space.
