Step 3
How CBT translates to online therapy
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practicing coping skills, and reviewing small experiments between meetings to build momentum.She focuses on simple, actionable steps such as tracking moods, trying new routines, and rehearsing different responses to stressful situations. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and issues around self-esteem or body image by turning insight into everyday habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide whether CBT or variations of it fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision happens collaboratively and can change as goals evolve.
