How CBT and DBT inform online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood in place. Online sessions using CBT often include tracking thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and reviewing progress together. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when anger or intense emotions get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is something to discover together. Thaddeus will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and how they prefer to work. Sessions involve trying tools, reflecting on what helped, and adjusting the plan as needed.
