Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Dwayne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused methods in his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and practice different responses. It is often helpful for panic, social anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact on everyday life, which suits post-traumatic stress and abuse-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try first. Plans can be adjusted over time so the work stays practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and use of worksheets or screen-sharing when helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins or homework support into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
