How Brian Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Brian frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change small habits that keep problems going. CBT sessions tend to focus on current situations, practical strategies, and homework to practice new skills between meetings.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques are useful when strong feelings, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where the clinician and client decide together what feels most helpful.
