Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stefanie Kincaid integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when clients are weighing change or facing ambivalence. Motivational Interviewing uses collaborative, person-centered conversations to strengthen motivation and clarify goals, which can support shifts in behavior and commitment to treatment. Stefanie works together with each client to determine which approaches best fit their needs, goals, and preferences - the choice of methods is a collaborative part of the therapeutic process.

Online therapy with Stefanie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and allow clients to connect in the ways that feel most accessible to them.
