Online therapeutic approaches
Ava Weaver offers online sessions that use structured, skills-oriented methods alongside reflective, client-centered work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to explore connections among thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to practice concrete strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness Therapy is integrated to support present-moment awareness and self-regulation.
These approaches are applied in a collaborative manner: the therapist and client set goals, review progress, and adapt strategies based on ongoing feedback. Sessions can include skill practice, guided reflection, and planning for real-world application. Weaver draws on trauma-focused training to inform how these methods are introduced and paced.
Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective clients can discuss which communication option feels most workable during the initial intake and then proceed with the format that best fits their needs.
