CBT and DBT Informed Care Delivered Online

Claudette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical techniques for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and daily challenges. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy principles to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for strong emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she collaborates with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and refining the plan as progress is made, with the therapist offering guidance and adapting tools to match what works best for the client.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels.
