Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Hilary often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving that reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.She treats selection of an approach as a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and daily challenges and together you will decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as progress is made, so the work stays relevant to what you want to change.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives and different comfort levels. Video is useful for deeper conversation and practicing skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging allow for shorter check-ins, written coaching, and flexibility between appointments. These options make it simpler to build therapy into work, school, or family schedules while still practicing techniques and tracking progress.
