Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Dr. Jerard Holton draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and can explore values, identity, and goals - it is helpful for self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping in daily life. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns linked to trauma or self-destructive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He works collaboratively with each person to choose and adapt techniques based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, combining methods when that best supports progress. The emphasis is on practical, achievable steps that fit a client’s life.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and use a mix of session types to match what feels most useful for the client.
