How Colby’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supports their own choices about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal tools.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Colby collaborates with each person to choose ideas and skills that match their goals and situation. Together they set priorities, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexibility for different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversations and longer sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while still working on real progress.
