Approaches used in online sessions
Sean commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in his work. CBT helps you spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to see what changes. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and the ways anger shows up at work or home. DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication when tensions rise.He also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help people notice triggers and pause before reacting. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the situations that cause the most trouble.
