How Kathlena Uses CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing Online
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those tools can help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and self-directed behaviors when taught in short skills practice and coaching moments.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method to explore ambivalence about change. It is commonly used when someone is thinking about cutting back on substance use or making other behavior changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose which methods to try first, based on needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit around work, caregiving, and daily routines.
