Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is commonly used to address anxiety, stress, depression, and difficulties that affect daily functioning by teaching practical skills to challenge negative thinking and build healthier routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skill-building in areas such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be helpful for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of impulsive behavior by offering concrete tools to respond differently to stress and interpersonal situations.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bernadette will work with each person to evaluate their needs, goals, and preferences, combining elements of CBT, DBT, or other suitable techniques to form a personalized plan. This shared decision-making helps ensure therapy aligns with what matters most to the individual.
Online therapy with Bernadette includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible options that fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow for consistent care and easier scheduling without requiring travel, making it simpler for people to attend sessions and practice skills between meetings.
