Therapeutic Approaches for Online Recovery and Resilience

Adrian frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to symptoms like anxiety and depression, and it is often applied to mood, anxiety, and addiction-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors, which can be especially helpful for clients struggling with self-regulation or trauma responses. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that strengthens a person’s motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and highlighting personal reasons for recovery.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Adrian works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts techniques so treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or distance from providers. These formats make it easier to keep consistent appointments, access care from home, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with a licensed professional.
