Remote sessions and therapeutic focus



Dr. Wheatley offers appointments via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow for traditional session time as well as ongoing skill practice and shorter check-ins depending on the client’s needs.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relational patterns influence current interactions and emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts and on building concrete coping strategies for day-to-day stress and anxiety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, while Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes actionable steps toward specific goals. Dr. Wheatley collaborates with clients who want both insight into long-standing patterns and practical tools, shaping each remote session around their stated priorities and preferred communication format.
