How her approaches shape online care

Dr. DePasquale uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes building practical coping skills for managing strong emotions like anger and anxiety, teaching step-by-step strategies to respond differently when stress rises. Another focuses on addressing trauma and its effects by helping people make sense of painful memories and learn techniques to reduce their impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She works with each person to identify what matters most and tests methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. Together they adjust plans so the work stays focused and useful over time.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats can also help when bandwidth varies or when a session without video is preferable for a brief update. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and pacing to match daily schedules and life demands.
