Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used to address issues like anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills for changing patterns that interfere with daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT can be especially helpful for clients managing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or patterns of impulsive behavior.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Carissa collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible options for engaging in these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across distances, and access licensed professionals from familiar settings, while preserving the collaborative, skills-based focus of in-person therapy.
