Approaches that guide online sessions

Brandy often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and better communication for intense feelings and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandy will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then recommend or combine methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, live chat supports quick back-and-forth tools and exercises, and text messaging lets people share updates or thoughts between meetings. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to keep continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
