Remote care using skills-based and values-driven methods
Dr. Geralyn Dexter offers remote sessions that emphasize practical skills and personal values. She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. That work often pairs with mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another central approach, teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients are weighing change, to clarify motivation and support steps that feel doable. These methods are presented collaboratively, with the therapist and client shaping priorities, homework, and pacing together.
Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing the format to match client needs. Dr. Dexter adapts exercises and between-session tools so they work with each person’s schedule and goals, and she discusses the best way to use those communication options when starting services.
