Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for issues such as anxiety, stress, and adjustments related to addictions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing strong emotions and anger. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of conversation that helps people clarify their motivation to change and build commitment when facing addictive behaviors or ambivalence about change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds and priorities shift. Clients are invited to be active partners in choosing the path that feels most productive for them.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or to connect from different locations within the same state. These options allow for continuity of support, timely check-ins, and a range of formats so clients can choose the way of communicating that works best for their therapeutic goals.
