Online support options
Approaches for online healing and practical change
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood shifts.Motivational interviewing centers on exploring a person's reasons for change and strengthening their motivation. It can help with addictions, readiness for new habits, and making sustained choices in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dani will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical routines while keeping continuity of care.
