Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Zachary offers online work using methods that prioritize structure and skill-building alongside collaborative exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to break down unhelpful thinking patterns and try specific, manageable changes in behavior. This approach is presented in straightforward steps so clients can practice new skills between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are introduced to help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing can be employed when ambivalence or readiness for change is part of the work. Together these approaches allow sessions to balance practical tools with exploration of values and goals.
He approaches remote care as a partnership: goals are set together and adjustments are made based on what feels most useful for the client. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging are available to support ongoing collaboration and skill practice.
