How Brian Uses Practical Therapies Online
Brian often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small steps so you can test new responses and track progress, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and parenting stress.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. DBT techniques can help when strong emotions, anger, or relationship difficulties make it hard to function day to day.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Brian will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to fit what works for each person. He encourages trying techniques and reviewing results together to decide what to keep using.
Online sessions come as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and more personal work, while phone calls work well if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or practicing skills between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
