Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Stephanie integrates hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online sessions. Hypnotherapy offers guided relaxation and focused attention to help uncover habits and reduce stress reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress in the moment.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to emphasize and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can fit into busy days and make it easier to track progress between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit around work, caregiving, and travel.
