Approaches that guide online therapy and care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses. It helps people understand and improve how they connect with others, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, family of origin issues, and healing from attachment-related trauma.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing self-destructive behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used when mood instability, impulsivity, or self-harm are concerns and can support people working with severe mental illness.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. It complements other approaches by helping clients reduce reactivity, improve stress management, and build consistent coping practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paul works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to tailor methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or those who live outside urban centers. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice new skills between sessions, and access care from the place that works best for the client.
