How Matthew brings therapeutic methods to remote sessions
Matthew commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often involves structured exercises, thought records, and action plans that can be used between sessions to track progress.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy strategies to teach practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT tools tend to be skills-focused and can help with strong emotions and relationship patterns. For trauma-related concerns he incorporates EMDR methods aimed at processing distressing memories and reducing their intensity over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Matthew discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. He partners with each person to choose or adapt methods so they fit individual needs and day-to-day life.
