Remote care using CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing



Calvin "Dale" Parker offers online sessions that translate his in-person approaches into remote formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is presented as a practical framework for identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing is used alongside these methods to explore a person’s motivations and ambivalence about change.

Therapy is collaborative: the therapist and participant work together to set goals, practice skills, and make adjustments to plans as progress unfolds. Sessions can include skill teaching, guided practice, and reflection on steps toward change, matching structured interventions to the concerns named by the individual or family.

Remote sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the format that best fits their communication preferences.
