Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Davalene Wilbanks integrates several practical, skills-based approaches into her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with more balanced thinking; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches strategies for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness - useful for anger, emotional regulation, and relationship challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy centers conversations on clients' goals and strengths, helping to create concrete steps toward change in a shorter time frame.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Davalene takes a collaborative stance, working with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or those who live far from office-based care. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of support and adapt session formats to what works best for each individual.
