Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Felisha Tillman incorporates therapies that focus on both understanding experience and building practical skills. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties. Client-centered therapy creates a supportive, non-judgmental environment where a person’s goals and strengths guide the work, supporting self-exploration and self-esteem growth.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Felisha works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on methods commonly used by licensed professionals and therapists to tailor care in a way that feels practical and respectful.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow for consistent appointments, easier integration into daily life, and multiple ways to receive support between sessions, making it simpler to continue progress even when schedules or circumstances change.
