Evidence-Informed Approaches Available Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be helpful for people who experience intense emotions, impulsivity, or recurring conflict in relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices such as breathing exercises or guided meditation to reduce rumination, increase focus, and support stress management.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dianna works collaboratively with clients to tailor methods to individual goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work aligns with what each person finds most useful.

Online therapy offers flexible options through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across changing routines. Licensed professionals can deliver the approaches above through these modalities, allowing clients to access evidence-informed support from wherever they are while preserving the collaborative, skills-based work that supports real-world change.
