How Kevin Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Dr. Lally commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people coping with trauma to work through distressing memories in a paced way. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He explores goals, symptoms, and personal preferences with each person and then adjusts methods together. That collaborative process helps pick which tools and techniques will feel most useful for the situation at hand.
Online therapy with him is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets you work face to face, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions.
