Practical Approaches and Online Therapy Options

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, stress, and difficulties with motivation by teaching practical skills and strategies that can be applied in everyday situations.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be particularly useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and increasing coping skills when life feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Damaris collaborates with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques from these approaches to create a treatment plan that fits the individual. This is a shared process that emphasizes what works best for the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access support from home or another convenient location. Licensed professionals can use these methods to deliver the same core therapeutic tools and collaborative planning as in-person work.
