How CBT is Used Online and What to Expect

Deanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that feed anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments or behavior changes, and practicing new coping skills until they become more natural. This approach is often helpful for worry, mood shifts, and managing reactions to life changes such as pregnancy, fertility concerns, or parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can assign practice exercises between appointments and review progress remotely, which helps keep momentum between meetings.
