Therapeutic approaches for online care
Sean often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress or challenges appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what suits their schedule and situation. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of techniques. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief coaching, tracking progress, or following up between longer sessions.
