How Denise Uses Structured Approaches in Online Work
Denise blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into focused, skills-based work. CBT involves noticing specific thoughts and behaviors, testing them with short experiments, and building alternative coping steps. This helps with anxiety, depression, and repetitive unhelpful thinking. DBT emphasizes behavioral skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance and can help when strong emotions or relationship conflicts interfere with daily life.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. That approach uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify goals and increase motivation. Deciding which mix of methods to use is a collaborative process; she will review your goals and preferences and suggest a plan you can try together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists assign brief practical exercises to try between meetings so progress can continue in everyday settings.
