How his approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more useful options. It often includes clear exercises and practice tasks aimed at anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some addictive patterns.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can be helpful for managing intense feelings, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. He adapts techniques over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how appointments are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy day. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or reduce the need to travel to appointments. Discuss preferences and practical needs during the first steps so sessions can be planned around real life commitments.
