Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more effective patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and challenges with daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal interactions, and can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and acceptance, offering tools to reduce rumination and improve coping with stress and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet Sohmer collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains a shared and flexible effort.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows greater scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. These options make it simpler for clients to fit regular sessions into busy lives while working with licensed professionals who use approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to support meaningful change.
