Using CBT and Mindfulness in remote sessions
Dr. Peoples often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test alternative ways of thinking. CBT sessions tend to include clear goals, homework tasks, and short experiments to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside CBT to train attention, reduce reactivity, and help someone notice physical and emotional signals before reacting.Finding the best approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which tools fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. That may mean emphasizing thought records and behavioral experiments one week and mindfulness practices the next, depending on what helps most.
The original biography indicates sessions were offered by tele-health video or telephone, so confirm which online options are currently available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it easier to practice skills in real-life settings and then discuss what happened in the next session.
