Online CBT and Practical Strategies for Everyday Life

Dr. Schwartz primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach that helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and related difficulties. CBT typically combines structured problem solving, behavioral experiments, and skill building to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process, working with clients to choose techniques that fit their needs and preferences. Together they explore goals, trial different strategies, and adjust the plan over time so the approach stays aligned with the client’s priorities and progress.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, her online practice is designed for flexibility. Remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments using written check-ins or messaging. These options allow clients to access consistent support while tailoring the delivery to what works best for their life and routines.
