Therapeutic approaches and online care
Brian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that worsen anxiety, depression, or anger. CBT emphasizes practical exercises and homework that translate directly into day-to-day life.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. DBT tools are useful when impulsivity, strong mood swings, or intense reactions make relationships and work difficult.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, then try methods that fit the client's needs. This collaborative process may combine techniques from several approaches and is adjusted over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text is useful for short check-ins, homework prompts, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain progress between meetings.
