How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Aimee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, useful for emotion regulation and coping under stress.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She will work together with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, needs, and personal preference. This collaboration means the plan can shift as progress is made or needs change.
