Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online
Nicole Bakewell, LMHC, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can work effectively in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping clients practice new ways to respond to stress, anxiety, and low mood in everyday situations.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or find themselves stuck in reactive patterns in relationships.
