How CBT and DBT translate to online care
Thaddeus uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood problems.He also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are useful when emotions feel intense or when communication repeatedly breaks down.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods together, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are involved in setting the pace and picking skills to practice.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat can be helpful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing skill practice between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules.
