How his approaches inform online care
Dr. Wallace commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in work with clients. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve coping for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, and workplace stress. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive actions, and is useful when people need tools for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.He also uses mindfulness practices to build attention and calm in the moment. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and adjusts the plan as progress is observed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work is presented as a way to fit sessions into everyday life - for example arranging appointments around work breaks, using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or choosing audio-only when video would be difficult. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to focus on concrete skills, homework tasks, and tracking small changes between sessions.
