How CBT, mindfulness, and DBT skills work in remote sessions
Gavin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT sessions typically involve setting goals, trying brief experiments between meetings, and tracking how changes affect mood and behavior. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many everyday problems.He also draws on mindfulness techniques to develop attention and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness work teaches simple practices for noticing stress and returning focus to present tasks, which can help with sleep, anger, and compassion fatigue. When intense emotions or self-harm risk arise, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build distress tolerance and emotion regulation one step at a time.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Gavin will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together the client and therapist track progress and adjust techniques based on what helps most.
