Teletherapy approaches and formats
Brandais relies on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients explore unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing symptoms or improving day-to-day functioning. Sessions using CBT tend to focus on identifying links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and on practicing alternative responses that support desired changes.
She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. For people who want brief, goal-directed work, solution-focused therapy is used to set measurable short-term objectives and to highlight existing strengths that can be applied toward change.
These approaches are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The clinician frames work collaboratively, discussing which mix of skills training, problem solving, or short-term goal setting best fits the client’s needs.
