Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Sessions

Rebecca Holland uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness-based techniques to help clients address common difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to reshape reactions and routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness; it can be especially useful for intense emotions, anger management, and relationship struggles. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and support better coping with stress and mood challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Rebecca collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines techniques as appropriate and adjusts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in care from different locations while working with a therapist to build practical skills and support meaningful change.
