BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems alive. CBT helps people test beliefs, try new actions, and track small changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are goals. DBT skills teach practical tools for coping with intense feelings, managing crises, and improving communication in strained relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before choosing methods together. Sessions can mix CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing depending on the client's needs.
