Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is particularly useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and improving coping in high-stress moments.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping patterns in close relationships by exploring emotions and attachment needs. It can be effective for couples and individuals seeking deeper connection and healing from relational wounds.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors methods so therapy fits each person's life and values.

Online therapy provides flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and travel, and allow continuity of care even when in-person visits are not possible. Many clients find the convenience and variety of communication methods helps them stay engaged and make steady progress.
