How Dena uses evidence-based approaches online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and behaving. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and guilt-related thinking patterns. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can help with panic, strong shame, and relationship conflicts.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as you make progress or face new challenges.
