How his approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Falls uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change and emotional regulation. One common approach he uses helps people spot unhelpful thinking and practice new, calmer responses in everyday situations; this is useful for anger, anxiety, and depression. Another approach emphasizes building practical coping skills and routines to reduce cravings, manage mood swings, and handle stress related to addiction or caregiving challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Together they track progress and adjust techniques if something is not working well.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more adaptable. Video calls permit face-to-face conversation for skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share shorter updates or work through exercises between appointments. These options help therapy fit into busy lives and different routines.
