Evidence-Based Therapies for Remote Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build willingness to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low motivation, and challenges that come with major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often applied to anxiety, depression, and mood regulation, and can provide practical strategies for day-to-day coping.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be particularly helpful for intense mood swings, relationship challenges, and impulse-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Desiree uses these evidence-based methods and collaborates with clients to determine which strategies best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how clients connect with licensed professionals. Sessions can occur via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or on the go and to choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
