Remote care with evidence-informed techniques
Thomas Buckner offers remote therapy using several complementary approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and to practice small steps toward meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and then tests new, more adaptive ways of responding.Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform work on emotion regulation and relational patterns. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and interpersonal conflict, while EFT can be used to explore attachment-related themes in close relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centered principles guide a collaborative process that centers the client’s experience and priorities.
