How Erin uses CBT and DBT for remote sessions
Erin commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on small, practical experiments that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms over time.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT offers concrete strategies for handling panic, urges, and intense emotions in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or a client-centered way of talking fits best. Goals, daily challenges, and personal preference guide the plan.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. The practice asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support skill practice between sessions.
