Therapeutic approaches and virtual support

Laverne Hoffler-Duckworth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and daily challenges. CBT is goal-oriented and often focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing reactive behaviors.

Laverne approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She sees selecting an approach as part of the process, and adjustments are made together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life and maintain continuity of care during transitions or when in-person visits are not feasible.
