How therapy approaches translate online
Masi commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques in her work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety or panic. Mindfulness therapy focuses on gentle attention training to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus. She also blends elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those skills are practical tools for managing sudden panic, strong anger, or overwhelming sadness. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides which methods to emphasize and how fast to move. The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work may make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to check in from wherever the client is that day.
