Therapeutic approaches and online support for recovery

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and low mood. It offers concrete strategies and exercises to reframe unhelpful thoughts and build more effective coping habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT is useful when mood swings, intense emotions, or interpersonal conflict get in the way of daily functioning.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps increase a person’s motivation and commitment to change. It supports exploration of personal values and priorities so clients can identify realistic steps toward the life they want.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dannielle will work collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life and maintain consistent contact with a licensed professional when support is needed.
