The overall approach is goal-oriented, practical, and centered on changing thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
How CBT and DBT are used in online sessions
Whitney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT sessions tend to be practical and task-oriented, with clear steps to try between meetings.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for managing strong emotions and tolerating distress. DBT-based skills focus on emotion regulation, mindfulness practice, and strategies for better interpersonal communication.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods in session, and adjust what they do based on what works. Clients are involved in deciding whether CBT, DBT techniques, or a mix fits best for their situation.
