How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Karen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it often helps with anger that comes from upsetting thoughts or stressful situations.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT techniques are useful when strong emotions lead to snapping at others or when managing reactions at work or home.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as skills develop and priorities change.
The biography does not list which specific online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt CBT and DBT tools to work well in remote sessions, with practical exercises and between-session practice to support progress.
