Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. It focuses on short-term strategies and measurable goals that can improve daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is useful for managing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns of acting on urges that cause harm.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental conversational method designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation to change. It is especially helpful when exploring ambivalence about addiction, lifestyle changes, or treatment engagement.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Justin works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods align best with a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and he adapts treatment as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or for those with limited local options. These formats support ongoing access to care, consistent skill practice between sessions, and different ways to communicate based on what feels most comfortable for each client.
