Remote care and therapeutic approach

Dr. Shelia Williamson Collins uses a client-centered framework to guide online sessions, creating space for individuals to describe concerns and set priorities. This approach emphasizes collaboration and the client’s perspective as the starting point for planning changes and interventions. Cognitive behavioral therapy is offered to examine the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to develop concrete strategies for managing symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy is used to teach skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those areas are part of the presenting concerns. She combines these methods with client-centered interactions to tailor work to individual needs. Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to choose the communication style that best fits their situation while working together to build skills and address challenges.
