How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Dr. Sult commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve functioning, which can be applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering structured skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. She works with clients to clarify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps most, blending techniques from different therapies when appropriate to match individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats allow work on cognitive and behavioral exercises, skills training, and emotionally focused interventions across varied schedules, making it easier to integrate therapy into everyday life while preserving continuity of care from a licensed professional.
