Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Sophie Dunstone draws on several structured, skills-based approaches that can work especially well in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing practical strategies to shift what is keeping anxiety, depression, panic, or OCD cycles going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds coping tools for intense emotions, distress tolerance, and steadier relationships, and can be helpful for managing overwhelm, self-harm urges, and mood instability. Trauma-Focused Therapy supports people in making sense of traumatic experiences and their effects, gently reducing the impact of triggers while strengthening day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sophie works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want to change, what has and has not helped before, and what feels workable right now, then adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility without sacrificing structure. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, and support can also take place via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or changing energy levels, while still keeping momentum between sessions.
