Approaches for Online Care and Emotional Skills
Kelly Mayes uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep difficulties. Kelly also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - skills that can be especially helpful for intense emotions, self-harm urges, and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kelly works collaboratively with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit their situation. Together they evaluate what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Kelly can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, manage work and caregiving commitments, and maintain continuity of support when travel or relocation is a factor. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt exercises and check-ins to work effectively in these formats.
