Telehealth approaches and what to expect
Dara offers online sessions that combine structured skill work with attention to emotional experience. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to symptoms and to build alternative coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is applied when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed, with an emphasis on practical tools for managing intense moments.
Mindfulness Therapy is woven into sessions to support present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These approaches are presented collaboratively: the clinician and the person work together to set goals, select interventions, and practice skills between meetings. Dara provides remote care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people choose to connect and continue therapeutic work.
