Telehealth options and therapeutic approaches
Kurt offers remote sessions alongside occasional in-person work in the Flathead Valley and outreach to rural Montana. Remote appointments can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and conducted.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to develop practical coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness therapy is used to build moment-to-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that can complement other interventions.
This combination is presented for people seeking structured, skills-based collaboration around stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting, self esteem, and depression. The approach emphasizes active work between sessions and clear communication about goals, with remote communication methods selected to match each person’s needs.
