Approaches that translate to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive and then practices practical changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by teaching clear skills to test and change unhelpful patterns.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These skills help when strong emotions or impulsive actions get in the way of daily life and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Jackson will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Together they check what helps and make adjustments over time.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual feedback. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is easier. Live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, homework review, or steady coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving duties, or a busy routine.
