Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, and problems like sleep and eating. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and it can help with intense emotions, relationship strain, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
