Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
In remote work she commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Mindfulness techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when strong emotions or relationship patterns create repeated problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and the issues you bring. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new priorities appear.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also allow use of exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice that support CBT, DBT, and mindfulness skills in day-to-day situations.
