How therapy approaches work online

Dr. Brown often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood, and it includes simple experiments and behavior changes. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and impulsive reactions.

She also brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing into conversations. Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept up by them. Motivational interviewing supports readiness for change by connecting goals to personal values. Choosing the best mix of methods is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options and tailor approaches to the client's needs and goals.
