Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Care
Tina Salerno draws from several well-established approaches that translate well to online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful environment where clients can explore emotions and experiences at their own pace, which can be especially helpful during major life transitions, grief, or identity and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, practical approach that helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping strategies for concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, supporting clients who want more steadiness when emotions feel intense or overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tina works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped in the past, and choose strategies that fit each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent with care. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging for added flexibility between sessions. This range of options can make support more accessible for busy schedules, travel, or days when getting to an office feels like too much.
