Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mike Petagna uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood and to build practical coping skills. DBT teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotional states and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mike works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.
Online therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from home or elsewhere, while still working with a licensed professional to address stress, addictions, parenting concerns, and other challenges.
