Approaches and online care that fit your life
Ricky uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that reduce anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on small, practical changes that can change how situations feel.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when feelings run high. DBT skills can be useful for intense mood swings, relationship strain, and managing anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past to decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.
