Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Tammy Kirschner frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on developing specific skills and tools that can be practiced between sessions.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when helpful - teaching techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be useful for people struggling with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Kirschner works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, by phone, through live chat, or by text-based messaging. This range of options helps people access support around work, family commitments, or geographic limitations, making it easier to maintain consistent care and practice new skills in daily life.
