How Stefanie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Stefanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Stefanie talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and life situation, then suggests methods to try together. She adapts plans as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy with video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These formats allow for regular check-ins, practice of new skills between sessions, and flexibility when in-person visits are difficult. Many people find that remote sessions let them work steadily toward goals without disrupting daily routines.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
