Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Allen often uses cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior skills during online work. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior techniques teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can help with anger and intense emotional reactions.She treats the choice of approach as collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and try methods together. If something does not fit, they adjust the plan and try different strategies until the client feels the work is useful.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone visits can be a simpler way to check in without video. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and other daily demands, and they let people choose how they prefer to communicate.
