Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Joy Gironda uses evidence-informed approaches to support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress. It focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete tools for everyday challenges.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is especially useful for managing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns that interfere with steady functioning. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping people clarify their values and find internal motivation to pursue change, which can be helpful for addictions and ambivalence about treatment.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joy collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques from these models to align with the client’s pace and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and receive support from wherever a person is located within the therapist’s service area. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods effectively in these formats to support ongoing progress.
