Remote sessions tailored with ACT, CBT, and DBT
Don integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people clarify values, notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and build small, practical skills for daily life. In plain terms, ACT supports identifying what matters most and taking committed action toward those values, while CBT focuses on recognizing thought patterns that interfere with mood and behavior and experimenting with alternative responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to strengthen emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools tend to emphasize present-moment awareness, distress tolerance skills, and clearer communication when relationships or intense feelings become overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing may be used to explore ambivalence and support commitment to change when that is a central concern. Online work is presented as a collaborative process. Don describes session goals with each person, adapts interventions to fit individual preferences, and checks in regularly about what is helpful. Remote appointments are available by video, by phone, by live chat, and through text-based messaging to allow for different ways of engaging with the work.What is Don Neil's clinical background?
