Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by teaching practical ways to change thinking and behavior.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT tools include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication techniques that can be practiced between sessions.

Terry treats choice of method as a collaborative process. She will listen to each person's needs and goals and recommend approaches that suit their situation. Together they decide whether to focus on thinking patterns, emotion skills, mindfulness, or short-term problem solving.

Online therapy offers flexible options to fit busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face from home. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide alternatives when video is not possible or when brief check-ins are useful. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills in real time as life happens.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
