How his approaches are used in online sessions
Stephen Drozda uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings, which can be discussed and adjusted during online appointments.He also integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are needed. DBT techniques are taught in small, stepwise practice so clients can apply them in real situations. Solution-focused therapy is used to set clear, short-term goals and test small changes that move toward those goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
His biography states that most sessions are conducted by video or phone. Confirm the currently offered session options before booking so they match your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins by phone when needed, and let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work.
