Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Ingrid draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and mood. CBT typically involves goal-oriented exercises and strategies that can be practiced between sessions to support day-to-day coping.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help people build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies and can be especially helpful for navigating intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ingrid works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work progresses so the plan remains responsive and meaningful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for receiving care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across distance, and access support in formats that feel most comfortable for the individual. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT techniques effectively to these remote formats, keeping the focus on progress and personal goals.
