How Lindsay’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting working relationship. It lets the client lead while the therapist reflects and supports choices, which helps when deciding what problems to tackle first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It is useful for people who want step-by-step strategies to calm down and communicate more effectively.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their life, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find methods that feel practical and doable.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for full conversations and exercises that need visual cues. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep working on goals between live meetings.
