Remote therapy using practical, skills-based methods
Shakea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. CBT is presented in accessible, step-by-step work on thoughts and behaviors, while DBT supplies techniques for managing intense emotion and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing is available as a complementary approach when a client is weighing change and could benefit from guided exploration of goals and ambivalence.
Treatment is collaborative: interventions are selected to match client priorities, and plans are adjusted if a method is not producing the expected progress. Sessions focus on practical strategies clients can try between meetings and on setting achievable next steps.
Remote options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow the same therapeutic methods to be delivered in ways that suit a client’s schedule and communication preferences.
