Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective strategies. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and practical problem solving.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationship patterns.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It is commonly used when someone is weighing whether to take steps related to health, substance use, or lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nannina works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, allowing therapists and clients to focus on progress and skill-building in ways that suit the individual.
