Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Sean draws on evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that contribute to stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people cope with intense emotions and improve relationships. Motivational Interviewing centers on exploring personal values and ambivalence to strengthen motivation for change, which can be especially helpful for those addressing addictions or lifestyle shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sean works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative exploration helps ensure therapy is both relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations.
