Evidence-Based Approaches, Delivered Online

Vanessa Rubin draws from several evidence-based therapy models to support clients working through concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and practice new ways of responding to stressors in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning how to make room for difficult emotions while still taking meaningful steps forward. It can be especially helpful when clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by worry or self-criticism. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, supporting clients who want practical tools for managing intense feelings and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Vanessa works collaboratively with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then tailors sessions to fit those needs over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility without sacrificing connection. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions and choose the level of structure that best fits their schedule.
