Remote approaches and what to expect
Dallas Bentley offers remote sessions that draw on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to help identify patterns of thinking and behaviour and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility to support actions that matter to the individual.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and social constructionist techniques are used to highlight strengths and reframe problems in ways that can open new possibilities for change. Process-Oriented Psychology contributes attention to internal experience and relational dynamics when that perspective is helpful. Bentley adapts these methods to each person's needs and works collaboratively to set goals and select strategies.
Online work is conducted via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit different communication preferences while maintaining continuity of care.
