How CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing work online

Christopher uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. CBT sessions focus on clear steps and exercises that can be practiced between meetings to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT tools are presented as short, teachable strategies that people can use when feelings become intense.

Motivational Interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons to change and to build motivation in small, manageable steps. This approach is conversational and aims to reduce resistance while highlighting personal goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Christopher will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on how things are progressing.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and texting work well for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, and staying connected between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
