How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change thought patterns that escalate anger and anxiety. It uses straightforward exercises to test thoughts and practice different responses in real situations.DBT skills focus on emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These skills teach concrete steps to calm intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and handle crises without escalation.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy centers on small, practical changes that make daily life easier. It helps clients set short-term goals and try experiments that can reduce friction in relationships and work settings.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist and client assess needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods over time. This collaborative process aims to match tools to the issues that cause anger, such as workplace frustration or build-up of resentment at home.
