How Susan Uses CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Methods Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and sleep issues and includes homework like tracking thoughts or testing new behaviors.DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help with impulsivity, overwhelming emotions, and relationship conflicts by teaching concrete skills for managing strong feelings.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what the client wants to achieve and steps to get there. Sessions emphasize practical, short-term goals and building on strengths to create change quickly.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then collaborate on which methods to use. This helps tailor sessions so they address immediate concerns while moving toward longer-term aims.
