Remote care and therapeutic methods
Dr. McCurdy uses a client-centered framework in remote sessions, creating a collaborative space where the client’s priorities guide conversation and goal setting. In this approach she focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping a treatment plan together with the client so that strategies align with individual needs and values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors in practical, structured ways. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between sessions. Together these methods offer skill-building and problem-solving tools that are discussed and refined in collaboration.
