Approaches for online care and personalized therapy

CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and social anxiety. DBT offers practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting those who struggle with intense emotions or relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Betsy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and actionable.
