How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Dr. Swingler commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try different responses to reduce distress and change habits. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when situations feel overwhelming.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and build commitment to those steps. These methods are described and tried collaboratively so the person and the therapist decide together which tools to use and how to adapt them to daily life.
