Online approaches that teach useful skills

Shequitta often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice small behavior changes to improve mood and stress. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. These skills are practical for managing intense emotions, relationships, and impulse-related concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on to support readiness for change and to help people set achievable goals. Solution-focused ideas help keep sessions goal-directed and focused on what will make the biggest difference now.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, listen to priorities, and try interventions that fit the client’s goals and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets hectic. Many people find remote formats help them access consistent support and practice skills between meetings.
