How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. McIlwaine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. In practice that means setting small, measurable goals and reviewing progress together during sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Mindfulness Therapy to help manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. DBT skills focus on practical coping techniques and mindfulness teaches simple attention practices that can be used between sessions.

The biography notes tele-therapy as part of private practice but does not list every session format. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work, school, or caregiving routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Depending on the chosen format, sessions can emphasize skills practice, homework review, or focused problem-solving to make the work practical and applicable to daily life.
