How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
LaShonda commonly applies cognitive-behavioral techniques, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that escalate anger and anxiety. These strategies can help with work-related frustration, mood swings, and sleep problems.She also uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach practical emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These tools aim to reduce reactivity in heated moments and improve conflict conversations. Acceptance-based methods are used to help people tolerate difficult feelings while taking values-based actions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and day-to-day constraints to decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and new priorities appear.
