Approaches that translate well to online care

Dianna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT techniques give clear, practiceable tools for intense feelings and conflict. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process traumatic events in a paced way and pairs well with mindfulness to reduce reactivity and build resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dianna collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She will review options, try techniques, and adjust as needed so the therapy matches preferences and progress.

Online therapy makes these methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and text work well for check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility to continue therapy around busy schedules and changing needs.
