How Lea Uses Practical Therapies in Online Care
Lea often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people manage symptoms and build skills. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and helps people test new thinking and behaviors for problems like anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lea will work with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. The early sessions often focus on identifying priorities and choosing a few skills to practice between meetings.
If you plan to do online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work or school, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also use less bandwidth or make it easier to speak without being on camera, which can be useful during high-stress days. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills to online appointments so sessions focus on what will make daily life more manageable.
