Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress by teaching strategies such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments to build more effective coping patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, anger, and relationship difficulties by offering concrete skills to respond to challenging situations more adaptively.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kris Horton works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with Kris can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location, allowing consistent engagement in therapy without requiring travel.
