Approach-based remote work and what it looks like
Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building practical skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. It teaches concrete techniques like distress tolerance and emotion regulation that can help with anxiety, mood swings, and intense stress.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people resolve uncertainty about change. It uses guided questions and reflections to strengthen a person’s own reasons for making adjustments to behavior or routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kevin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy progresses and different skills or strategies become more useful.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists often adapt DBT and solution-focused tasks to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
