Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It can be especially helpful for people who struggle with strong emotional reactions or difficulty regulating mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and achievable goals, helping clients build on what already works in their lives to create practical change. This approach suits those who want short-term, goal-oriented support.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gardner works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client will explore options together and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and for some needs live chat or text-based messaging may be used. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals and therapists from wherever the client is located in Alaska.
