Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Radin draws on several evidence-informed approaches to support adults facing anxiety, mood, and eating concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and many forms of disordered eating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful actions - it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment awareness and self-compassion practices that can reduce stress-related eating and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Radin works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions so the chosen methods fit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Dr. Radin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations within her licensed practice area, and choose the format that best supports day-to-day life and treatment goals.
