How Carly uses DBT and mindfulness in online sessions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on teaching practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It helps when mood swings, impulsivity, or intense reactions make daily life hard. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and sensations without judgment and supports reduced reactivity and clearer decision making.Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative. Carly will discuss goals and challenges in early sessions and together with the client choose which skills or trauma-informed techniques to prioritize. The plan can shift as needs change and as skill practice reveals what helps most.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit brief skill coaching or longer check-ins into a workday, avoid travel time, and practice techniques in the context of everyday routines. Some sessions may focus on skill drills and worksheets while others review real-life application and problem solving. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your schedule and needs.
