Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Daniel Thorne uses evidence-based approaches to help clients address emotional and behavioral concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress; it is practical and skills-oriented. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist supports the client in exploring goals and building on personal strengths.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Daniel works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals, accommodate busy lives, and maintain continuity of treatment when in-person visits are not practical.
