Sessions tend to focus on specific goals, skills practice, and clear steps to manage symptoms between visits. Eugenia explains tools in simple terms and checks in on how they are working.

How CBT and DBT guide online sessions
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen stress or depression. CBT work online often focuses on practical steps, short exercises, and homework that clients can try between sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills training online can include paced practice of emotion regulation and distress-tolerance techniques tailored to daily life challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT habits work, adding DBT skills, or combining elements from both approaches as progress is reviewed.
