How Samantha Uses Therapy Models Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice patterns of thought that feed anxiety or depression and then practice different ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used to address mood disorders, stress, and problematic habits. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce impulsivity and improve relationships. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-informed method aimed at reducing the intensity of distressing memories and their emotional hold.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Then she will suggest which methods might help and adjust plans as people learn what fits best. The process is collaborative and paced to the client's needs.
