CBT-Informed Care and Flexible Online Sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is central to Dana Scott's approach. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change reactions and behaviors. It is often used to address depression, bipolar symptoms, and anxiety by helping people build coping strategies and problem-solving routines.

Alongside CBT, Dana emphasizes skills-based coping and structured support tailored to each person's needs. This can include strategies for managing grief, navigating life changes, and supporting caregivers and neurodiverse individuals in daily routines and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Dana collaborates with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting direction as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals often blend techniques to best meet individual needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - making it easier to access consistent care without major disruptions to work, family, or other commitments. This range of options supports regular contact and ongoing skill development in ways that fit a client's life.
