Approaches Shae names

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Using DBT skills and online sessions for everyday challenges

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching concrete skills people can use when emotions feel overwhelming. It includes strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with anxiety, anger, and relationship conflict.

Shae will work with clients to find which approaches fit their needs. That means trying skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's goals and situation.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial expressions and have a fuller conversation when time allows. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or fitting therapy into a busy day.

These formats make scheduling more flexible and let people access a licensed professional from different locations within Wisconsin. Shae can recommend which format might work best based on a person's needs, goals, and daily routine.
