Attachment-based ideas are brought in to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Mindfulness exercises are added when slowing down reactivity helps. Motivational Interviewing supports change when substance use or process addictions are involved.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Edmonds commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that fuel anger. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and short homework tasks that can be reviewed between meetings.He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are especially useful when anger flares or when impulsive reactions cause regret. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to examine how early relationship patterns affect present-day responses and communication.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client review problems, goals, and personal preferences and then pick strategies to test in real life. That collaborative testing helps refine what actually works rather than relying on a single method.
