How CBT, DBT, and EFT can shape online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and new routines to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to handle conflict. It is often helpful when strong emotions or relationship patterns cause repeated crises or burnout.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people express needs and rebuild trust. It can be useful for repairing attachment wounds and improving communication around intimacy and closeness.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist work together to choose exercises and focuses that match personal needs and preferences.
