How Whitney Uses CBT and DBT Online

Whitney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that increase worry or low mood. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors to see what helps reduce distress.

She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills training offers clear steps for calming intense emotions and communicating more clearly with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Whitney collaborates with each person to select and adapt techniques that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She reviews progress and makes adjustments so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports trying skills in real life between sessions so learning can happen during the week rather than only in the office.
