Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Dr. Wright uses cognitive-behavioral techniques that help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more effective thoughts and actions. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and comfort level, adjusting methods over time as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats offer flexibility to fit work, family, and travel schedules while keeping therapeutic work continuous and practical.
