04Online support
Approaches and online care that work together
Scott commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication, which can help with intense emotions, anger, and addiction-related urges. Client-centered and mindfulness methods encourage noticing experience, slowing down, and clarifying values to guide next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Scott collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. He starts by listening to priorities, then suggests practical tools to try and adjusts the plan based on what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people work face to face when bandwidth and space allow, phone can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed, live chat suits quick exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can continue around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
