Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Melissa Meengs, LMSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can work especially well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to support concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem challenges.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. Many people find DBT strategies helpful when emotions feel intense, when coping feels harder than usual, or when life changes bring added pressure.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes building awareness of the present moment with less self-criticism. This can help clients relate differently to worry, stress, and difficult emotions, and create more space for intentional choices.
Melissa collaborates with clients to identify which approach and pacing fit best, based on their goals, preferences, and what is most useful right now. Therapy can evolve over time as needs shift.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and support may continue between sessions through live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay engaged even with a busy schedule.
