Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns by teaching practical coping skills and problem-solving strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and managing impulsive or self-destructive behaviors.
Tina also centers her work in a client-centered framework, which prioritizes empathy, respect and collaboration so that treatment aligns with each person’s values and goals. She works together with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access help from home or other convenient locations.
