How CBT, DBT and Mindfulness inform online work
Laurie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts so practical steps can be taken and tracked over time, which helps with anxiety, mood, and sleep issues.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can be useful when strong emotions or impulsive actions get in the way of daily life and relationships.
Mindfulness practices are included to help people notice their experience without getting swept up by it. Simple attention exercises can reduce reactivity and make other therapeutic skills more effective.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try specific techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions match their needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a regular schedule, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they practice new skills.
