Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when past events keep causing strong distress.
He also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work and mindfulness practices to help with attention and stress. His work includes attention to attachment, communication problems, and challenges related to aging, autism, or intellectual disability when relevant to the person sitting across from him.
