Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Dr. Hunter uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then teach concrete strategies to change them; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques that can help during intense emotional times. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking committed actions toward meaningful goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She collaborates with each person to adjust strategies and try different tools until a practical fit is found.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between errands. Remote sessions also let people use shorter check-ins when a full appointment is not needed, or choose video when visual cues are helpful and phone when lower bandwidth or a quieter set-up is preferable.
