Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Deirdre Moriarty incorporates well-established strategies to address anxiety and related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping. CBT is commonly used for worry, panic, and many forms of anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress; it is helpful when intense feelings and relationship challenges interfere with daily life. Mindfulness Therapy involves cultivating present-moment awareness and acceptance, which can help reduce reactivity to stress and support calmer responses to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Moriarty works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment is practical and aligned with what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy schedules and varied circumstances. Sessions can take place by video call, by phone, or through live chat or text-based messaging, allowing for consistent care without the need to travel. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional and the selected therapeutic approach.
