Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Thomas Cobb

Thomas Cobb uses several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person he works with. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with strategies that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and support mood and motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for panic, intense emotions, and relationship challenges. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and physical responses to stress, helping people understand how the body and mind interact and offering techniques to reduce tension and improve overall coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Thomas collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work over time so treatment remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility in how people connect. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and health needs, and they allow consistent access to therapists even when in-person visits are difficult. Thomas aims to make therapy accessible while maintaining a focus on meaningful progress and everyday skills.
