Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care for Anxiety

Dr. Moriarty uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - an approach that is effective for anxiety, panic, and stress-related difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is offered to teach practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotional reactions and relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and supports stress reduction and improved awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Moriarty works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals support this exploration and tailor interventions to each individual.

Online therapy with Dr. Moriarty is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and engage in therapy from a location that works for the client.
