Evidence-Based Skills, Delivered Online

Gena Taylor-Tidwell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, often drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). CBT focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping someone stuck, then practicing more helpful ways of responding. It can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

DBT emphasizes practical skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving day-to-day interactions. It can be a helpful fit for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or who want clearer tools for navigating relationships and difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gena works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped before, and what feels realistic right now, then adjusts the direction of therapy based on those needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and choose a format that feels most comfortable.
