Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Scott integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, and behavior. CBT focuses on practical strategies and experiments that can change how people think and act in daily situations.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based skills can be particularly useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive or self-defeating behaviors.

Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises can help clients build attention, reduce rumination, and approach challenges with greater clarity.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Scott works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, adjusting methods as progress unfolds to ensure the therapeutic plan fits the individual's life.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
