How CBT and DBT skills translate to online care

Neva uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change the actions that follow. CBT focuses on tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy concentrates on emotion regulation and distress tolerance, teaching concrete skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Neva will collaborate with each person to choose which skills to try first based on goals and day-to-day needs. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in contexts that matter to them, such as handling stressful calls or using grounding techniques during a difficult moment. Therapists and licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus so therapy fits into everyday life.
