Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Terri Wilkens draws from evidence-informed approaches that can work well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practicing new ways of responding - often helpful for stress, anxiety, and panic-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult feelings while clarifying personal values, so choices can be guided by what matters most even when life feels heavy. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication tools, which can be especially useful when relationships feel strained or emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terri collaborates with clients to understand what brings them in, what they want to change, and what kind of support feels most helpful. Together, they can adjust the pace and methods over time, based on goals, preferences, and real-life feedback.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet with Terri by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and stay connected between sessions in a way that feels accessible.
