Background and approach
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming or impulsive behavior causes problems. These skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. Sessions often include practical exercises people can try between meetings.
Anne helps with a wide range of life stressors including grief, parenting strain, career crossroads, chronic illness, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people coping with body image, codependency, or first responder stress. Her work includes attention to anger, sleep, eating concerns, and problems with focus such as ADHD.
Her style is direct and nonjudgmental. She invites people to talk through what matters and to set clear goals together. The process is collaborative and paced to individual comfort and readiness.
Using client-centered, CBT, and DBT approaches online
Anne uses client-centered therapy to start by hearing the person’s experience and building trust. This approach focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client, which helps shape clear, personal goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are added when emotions run high or impulsive actions cause trouble. These practical skills target emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication during heated moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that feel like a good fit. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video helps when visual cues matter, phone calls can fit into a short break, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep practicing skills between sessions.
