Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Dr. Dawn Schulze uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it is often used for worry, anxiety, and stress-related concerns.

She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT strategies are useful when strong emotions, relationship conflicts, or difficulty managing reactions get in the way of everyday functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Schulze works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts treatment over time so interventions remain relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Dr. Schulze is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, accommodate busy routines, and continue care during transitions or periods when in-person meetings are not convenient.
