Teletherapy and clinical methods
Online work with Dr. Spelgatti centers on collaborative planning that adapts therapeutic tools to an individual's goals. He often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions can focus on concrete skills, structured practice, and tracking progress together.
Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are available to address emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are a priority. Emotionally focused and attachment-based ideas are used to explore relational patterns and strengthen connections within couples or families when relevant. Acceptance and commitment therapy concepts can be incorporated to clarify values and support committed action amid difficult thoughts or feelings.
Teletherapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Dr. Spelgatti works with each person to choose which combination of approaches and communication formats best fits their preferences and therapeutic goals.
