How sessions work
How CBT, DBT and attachment ideas work online
CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In practice this means noticing patterns, testing them with small experiments, and trying different responses to see what helps with anxiety, low mood, or relationship stress.DBT focuses on skills for managing intense emotions and improving decision making. It includes attention to emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can aid people who get overwhelmed or struggle with strong reactions.
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current expectations and reactions. This approach helps people notice recurring relationship patterns and make different choices about closeness, boundaries, and trust.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing skills-based work with reflection about relationship patterns.
