Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, and stress by building concrete coping skills and problem-solving techniques.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal skills. It can be especially helpful for people who want tools to manage intense emotions, reduce reactive behaviors, and improve relationships.
Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of traumatic experiences and supports gradual processing and integration of those memories. This approach helps people reduce trauma-related symptoms and regain a sense of safety and agency in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brandy works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to match progress and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, manage childcare or transportation constraints, and maintain continuity of care from different locations.
