How Kyana’s approaches translate to online work
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on teaching skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for people who need step-by-step skills to handle anxiety, intense feelings, or relationship conflicts.Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) looks at interaction patterns that keep problems going and aims to change them with short-term, practical strategies. It helps when family roles, blended family dynamics, or communication patterns are contributing to ongoing stress.
She also uses narrative and solution-focused techniques to help people reframe difficult experiences and set small, achievable goals. These methods steer sessions toward concrete changes rather than long discussions without action.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, past attempts, and current needs to decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that may change over time as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into a lunch break or reducing travel time. It also allows short check-ins when a full appointment is not possible and can let people use video when helpful or choose audio for lower bandwidth or less screen time.
