How her approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their motivation for change and build commitment when facing habits or addictions. DBT skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lynnette will discuss your goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit your situation. That way sessions focus on what you want to change and on practical steps to get there.
