How CBT and brief skills work online
Dr. Tatum uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT sessions focus on specific skills such as tracking thought patterns, doing short behavioral experiments, and building routines that reduce stress and improve sleep.The work is practical and collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and pick approaches that fit current needs. Over a few sessions they adjust methods based on what helps most, combining in-session practice with tasks to try during the week.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into their week because they cut travel time and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick problem needs attention, or let someone use audio-only contact if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Licensed professionals can help choose the right mix of techniques and scheduling to suit daily life while focusing on measurable, practical change.
