Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy

Hayley commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and patterns of impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, supporting stress reduction, improved attention, and resilience in the face of difficult feelings.

Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic process; Hayley collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most effective for their situation. Together they adapt techniques and priorities so the work fits each person’s needs.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how sessions are held, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access skilled therapists from different locations while preserving the consistent, focused support that drives progress.
