Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Adam integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into his online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns influence current emotions and relationships, helping people improve connection and security in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support people dealing with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Adam works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions begin with an assessment of concerns and strengths so that therapy can be tailored and adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy options include video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and for those managing caregiving, work, or mobility challenges. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can use these modalities to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and make therapy more accessible for people in different life circumstances.
