Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Irene Kepler integrates evidence-informed methods into online work to meet practical needs and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - it can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it is useful when strong emotions or relationship patterns interfere with daily life. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and acceptance - it can help reduce reactivity and build resilience in the face of ongoing challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Irene works with clients to explore which techniques fit their preferences, goals, and life circumstances, and she adapts strategies over time as needs evolve. Clients are partners in planning the path forward.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and cross geographic boundaries. Irene offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose the format that feels most accessible and manageable. These options support continuity of care and allow therapists to apply familiar clinical tools in flexible ways.
