Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Brian commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in ways that fit remote work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be practiced between sessions to manage intense feelings.

He also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and interactive work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide fast touchpoints and support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical skill-building and steady progress.
