Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Theresa Bowes draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be a strong fit for online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy starts with the belief that a person’s lived experience matters. It emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and working from the client’s perspective, which can be especially helpful when navigating stress, life transitions, relationship strain, or feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding, which can support goals related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel hard to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa collaborates with clients to clarify what they want from therapy and to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting along the way as new insights emerge.

Online therapy makes that work more accessible. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing routines, and different communication styles.
