How CBT and DBT work in online therapy

Gregory commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that translate well to remote care. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, then building practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can help with strong emotions, relationship strain, and impulsive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gregory will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. This lets the client try techniques and give feedback so the therapy can be fine tuned.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for regular check-ins and skill practice between meetings. Video works well for longer sessions and skill demonstrations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be used for brief updates or homework support. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and life demands.
