Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Access



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to reduce intense reactions and improve coping in stressful situations. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships and in how individuals process attachment-related feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may draw from one or more approaches over time so that treatment remains responsive and tailored to progress and challenges.

Online therapy with this practitioner is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access skills coaching between meetings, and fit therapy into work or caregiving routines while working with licensed professionals who guide the process.
