Remote therapy approach and methods

Damion offers remote sessions that can be scheduled by video call or conducted by phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. He brings a mix of therapeutic approaches to online work so that strategies can be matched to the issues a person brings. Communication options include synchronous video and phone sessions as well as real-time chat and ongoing messaging.



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in his practice focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to actions that reflect those values. In accessible terms, ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those priorities even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to teach practical skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT emphasizes identifying and testing unhelpful thinking patterns, while DBT includes techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Damion works collaboratively to choose which combination of methods fits each person’s goals and preferences and adapts those tools to the chosen remote format.
