Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used for issues like anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem and focuses on practical skills to shift reactions and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, known as DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness techniques to manage intense feelings and improve relationships. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people find internal motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment to personal goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dawn works collaboratively with individuals to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors methods and strategies to fit each person's situation. This collaborative planning helps ensure treatment aligns with what the client finds most useful and meaningful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support even when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these methods to provide effective, accessible care across a range of concerns.
