How his approaches translate to online care
CBT - Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. It is practical work that often includes straightforward exercises between sessions to track progress.DBT - Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can help when reactions feel intense or impulsive and provides specific skills to practice in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and situation. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into real life.

These options help people keep steady progress while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
