04Online support
Online approaches that fit your goals
Brian often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive or self-harming actions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework help, or shorter exchanges between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules while keeping focus on practical progress.
