Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Ricky often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stress by giving practical strategies to try between sessions.He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, teaching skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills are practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
When trauma is a focus, Ricky may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, to help process difficult memories; this approach is used alongside other supports and only when it fits the client’s needs.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ricky will listen to your goals and concerns, explain options in plain language, and together you will decide which methods to try and when to adjust course. He tailors plans to your pace and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel or schedules are tight. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief skill coaching, or keeping steady contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
