How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness with concrete skills practice for intense feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and attachment-style patterns in close relationships to help people notice and change repeating interaction cycles.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. This means plans can change as progress and feedback guide the work.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT, DBT, and EFT tools online as in person, adapting exercises and skill practice so they work in a remote meeting. Tony will help decide which methods and session arrangements best suit the practical demands of daily life.
