Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy
Jeffrey Riskin uses well-established methods to guide online work, tailoring them to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the lasting effects of traumatic experiences, supporting coping and gradual recovery.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jeffrey collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommends or adapts strategies that fit their situation. That collaborative stance helps ensure therapy is practical and personally meaningful.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility by allowing work through 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 engage in ongoing skill practice between sessions with licensed professionals and therapists.
