How sessions work
How Cassandra Uses CBT and DBT Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and experiments to test new ways of responding to anger, anxiety, or low mood. CBT is practical for work-related stress and repeating interpersonal patterns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear tools for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive reactions. Skills include distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindful communication. These tools can help when anger flares or when resentment builds over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cassandra will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels workable. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized so the plan matches the client’s needs and preferences.
