Remote care grounded in evidence and collaboration
Dionne offers online options that aim to mirror the collaborative, person-centered work she practices in person. She uses evidence-based practices to identify patterns, set concrete goals, and teach strategies tailored to individual needs. That approach emphasizes actionable steps, regular review of progress, and adjustments to match what is most helpful for the client.
In tandem with evidence-based tools, Dionne emphasizes collaborative planning and culturally sensitive care. She works with clients to co-create treatment plans that reflect personal identity, values, and priorities, including attention to the experiences of LGBTQ+ people. This combination seeks to balance structured skill-building with exploration of meaning and context.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow for ongoing communication and flexible ways to engage while following the same collaborative processes used in her broader practice.
