Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain difficult feelings by offering practical tools for change.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication in relationships, and coping with overwhelming situations.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, focuses on understanding emotions and strengthening bonds in close relationships by helping people express needs and respond to one another with greater empathy. It is helpful for couples and individuals working on connection and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sean DeFreese works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals when appropriate to determine which methods align with a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and additional support can come through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access help in ways that match a client’s comfort and schedule.
