Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Two common evidence-based approaches Susan uses are structured skills work and problem-focused therapy. Structured skills work teaches concrete techniques for managing anxiety, anger, attention, and mood swings, such as simple breathing, activity planning, and brief behavioral experiments. Problem-focused therapy breaks down current problems into manageable steps and tries small changes to see what helps.

She also draws on approaches that target compulsive behaviors and impulsivity by helping people spot triggers and build alternative routines. These methods are aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and reducing distress from obsessions, impulses, or disruptive mood patterns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust methods based on the client's goals and how they respond. This helps make sure techniques fit the person’s needs and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates or get support between calls and can fit into busy days.
