Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Dr. Dennis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on identifying unhelpful patterns and building new responses. One common approach is problem-focused work that breaks issues into manageable steps and develops practical coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. This method helps people create small habit changes and clearer routines that reduce daily strain.Another approach emphasizes relational understanding to address conflict, infidelity, jealousy, and self-esteem in partnerships. This style helps people notice interaction patterns, practice different ways of communicating, and repair or reframe hurtful cycles. Both approaches aim for concrete changes rather than abstract insight alone, and they adapt well to online formats.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. Plans are reviewed and adjusted over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video lets people meet face to face, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be used for brief check-ins or for those who prefer written conversation. These options help fit sessions into busy schedules and different life situations.
