Therapeutic Approaches for Online Skill Building

Kennedy uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients build skills and make change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with concentration. It is practical and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on techniques clients can apply in daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. DBT can be helpful for impulsivity, mood instability, and interpersonal challenges by offering structured tools for emotional regulation and communication.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people explore their goals and resolve ambivalence about change. It is useful when motivation feels unclear or when someone wants support to prepare for next steps, such as adjusting routines, improving parenting strategies, or engaging in treatment.

Kennedy approaches choice of method as a collaborative process - she will work with each client to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain momentum between sessions while working with a licensed professional.
