Online approaches that fit your schedule
Brandais uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that worsen mood and to practice different ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and problems with motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping during stressful moments; it can help with panic, impulsivity, and emotional regulation. She also employs Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, concrete steps that lead to quick, measurable progress and clearer goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will recommend approaches that match those priorities. Sessions can combine methods and adjust over time so the work stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact between full sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, and other commitments.
