Evidence-Informed Therapy, Built for Online Support
Dr. Daniel Cifarelli integrates practical, skills-based approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding - often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured coping tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful when moods feel intense or hard to manage. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers a framework for working through the impact of trauma and abuse at a pace that supports stability and day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Cifarelli works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit the challenges they want to address. Over time, sessions can adjust to what is most helpful as needs change.
Online therapy also makes support easier to access and more flexible to maintain. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and they can also use live chat or text-based messaging. These options can make it simpler to stay engaged between busy schedules, changing energy levels, or other life demands while continuing to build momentum in therapy.
