Remote therapy and communication options
John Dinauer offers remote sessions that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Remote appointments are presented as flexible ways to address stress, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and relationship or identity concerns.
In his remote practice he emphasizes individualized coping skills and exploratory dialogue. One strand of work focuses on building practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and the impacts of chronic health conditions. Another strand attends to addiction-related patterns and relational dynamics, including process and sex-related issues and alternative relationship practices.
