Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In practice this looks like working together to spot stressful thoughts, test their accuracy, and build practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and everyday stressors. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and find personal motivation for change - it is often used in addressing addiction, commitment issues, and readiness for life transitions.
Derylene Proctor uses these methods flexibly, tailoring them to each person’s situation and values. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work; she collaborates with clients to choose strategies that fit their goals, preferences, and stage of change, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy schedules and those living far from the therapist’s office. Derylene provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more accessible and to support ongoing work between sessions. This range of options helps maintain continuity of care during life transitions and supports consistent progress toward personal goals.
