Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Hughes uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior and try practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want concrete tools to manage symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving how people relate to others; it can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation and clarify personal goals when someone feels stuck or uncertain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan based on what is useful and achievable for the client.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for a full conversational session, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief contact between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
