How therapy approaches guide online work

Dr. Haney blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to shape online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and responding to what a person says is most important, helping build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and then try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal interactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions relevant and focused on what the client wants to change.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy lives, shorter check-ins when needed, and options for quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Licensed professionals can still use these approaches effectively at a distance while tailoring methods to each person's circumstances.
