How she uses CBT, DBT and EMDR online
Dr. Davis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises to try between meetings and tracking what works. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for learning distress tolerance and emotion regulation strategies that can help during intense moments. EMDR is used as a trauma-focused option to process distressing memories when appropriate and when the client and clinician agree it fits the goals.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and what methods feel most practical. Together they decide which techniques to prioritize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know the formats offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use methods like guided breathing, thought records, and in-session coaching from wherever they are, which can help apply new skills to daily routines.
