Online sessions and therapeutic methods



David Gibbs offers remote sessions that draw on structured and experiential methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides emotion regulation and interpersonal tools that can be practiced between sessions to support stability and clearer communication.

For trauma-related concerns, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing may be incorporated to address distressing memories and their present-day impact. Sessions are collaborative, with treatment choices discussed and tailored to each person’s needs and goals. Gibbs integrates mindfulness and acceptance practices across approaches to help with grounding and increasing awareness.

Remote care is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their routine and comfort. The online setting is used to teach skills, process experiences, and plan actionable steps toward change.
