Remote sessions using attachment, DBT, and EMDR-informed methods
Joseph provides online therapy that integrates attachment-based principles with skills-oriented work from dialectical behavior therapy and targeted interventions such as EMDR when appropriate. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns formed in relationships to clarify how those patterns affect current feelings and interactions. Dialectical behavior therapy supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. EMDR is described as a focused approach for processing traumatic memories and associated symptoms.
He emphasizes collaboration in shaping the pace and focus of sessions, adjusting the mix of talk therapy, skills practice, and focused processing to match each person’s goals. Remote offerings include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the communication formats that best fit their needs. Those interested can discuss which combination of approaches and modalities would be most useful during an initial conversation.
