BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Liston commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on the person’s experience and priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify next steps. DBT techniques emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be taught and practiced during sessions.She also incorporates mindfulness-based practices to reduce stress and improve sleep. These are short exercises in attention and breathing that people can learn in session and use between meetings to manage anxiety or racing thoughts.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the initial work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and will recommend combining methods when it serves the client. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The biography mentions video sessions as a way she often uses to build rapport. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can match everyday life more readily.
