How Chad’s approaches work online
Chad commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to see what feels better. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation and practical skills for managing intense feelings and improving day-to-day coping.He frames these approaches as options rather than rules. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together which tools match the client's goals and preferences. Sessions begin with straightforward goals and adjust as progress is seen.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual tools on screen. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skills practice, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep steady contact and practice skills between sessions.
