How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It breaks problems into small parts so clients can test new thinking and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions. It emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when relationships feel strained or reactions feel overwhelming.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages paying attention to the present moment and noticing thoughts and sensations without immediate reaction. It can help reduce reactivity to stress and create space for different responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
