Adapting Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping under pressure. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and connection formed in early relationships and can support work on intimacy, attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Bridgett collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the work feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists in a way that meets individual scheduling and communication needs.
