Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online
Donald McRae commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - alongside Mindfulness practices to support online clients. DBT focuses on building practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and addictive behaviors. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness practices teach present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that reduce reactivity and improve focus, often supporting work with stress, sleep issues, and trauma symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donald McRae works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then blends methods that fit the individual rather than relying on a single modality. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment stays practical and personally relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can engage in therapy around work, family, and other commitments. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists, while adapting session style to what works best for the client.
