How these approaches work in online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills and step-by-step behavior changes.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can be useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and patterns that feel hard to change.
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and life choices. It helps people facing life transitions, grief, and questions about purpose by creating space to reflect and decide what matters most.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to choose or combine methods based on personal goals and what feels helpful. Sessions typically begin with practical goals and adjust as needs change.
