Applying CBT and DBT Through Online Therapy
Richard Yates uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as primary frameworks in his work. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve everyday functioning. DBT emphasizes building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing anger, impulsivity, and intense emotional reactions.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Richard works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they explore practical strategies and tools, adjusting the plan as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and access consistent support from wherever the client is located in Texas. The format supports interactive skill-building and regular check-ins while preserving the therapeutic collaboration that guides treatment choices.
