Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a hands-on approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps people test and change unhelpful thinking and build skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills. It can be useful when emotions feel intense or when communication breaks down. Damon also uses EMDR, which works with the body’s responses to traumatic memories to reduce their intensity and help people move forward. EMDR is often chosen by people who want targeted work on past trauma or abuse.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Damon will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest approaches that could help. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as needed based on how someone responds to treatment.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect. Video calls let the therapist see nonverbal cues and run structured exercises. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule or during unpredictable weeks.
