BHow sessions work
How Dr. Hughes uses CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing online
Dr. Hughes often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that worsen mood and anxiety. CBT uses simple exercises to test thoughts and build new responses to stressful situations.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can help when strong feelings or relationship conflicts get overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify values and increase motivation for change, especially around career decisions, substance use, or lifestyle shifts.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a person about their goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and practical.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to schedule. Discussing access needs and daily routines helps shape how sessions are scheduled and structured.
