Evidence-based techniques and online flexibility
Shequitta often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These tools help people manage intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and build steadier routines.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. This approach works well for depression, anxiety, and stress by turning small changes into clearer results. Motivational Interviewing is another common element; it focuses on exploring personal goals and strengthening the drive to change, which can be useful for addictions and lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right combination of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients set the pace and priorities while the therapist offers tools and feedback.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, family routines, or when travel is difficult.
