Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is a structured, goal-oriented approach that often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching practical skills and strategies for coping and problem solving.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, commonly called DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. Techniques from DBT can be helpful for clients who struggle with emotional regulation, relationship conflicts, or recurrent crises.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on building solutions and strengths rather than dwelling on problems. It is typically brief and action-oriented, helping clients clarify goals and take measurable steps toward change.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Stephen Drozda works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made and circumstances change.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and to continue care during life transitions while maintaining continuity of treatment and practical support.
