Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, stress, and low mood. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers structured strategies for change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for people who experience intense emotions or struggle with impulsive behaviors, and it teaches concrete coping tools for managing overwhelming moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chelsea Vargas will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailor CBT, DBT, or a blend of strategies to fit their unique situation.
