How his methods work in remote sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. In practice this means tracking specific situations, spotting the thought patterns that follow, and trying small behavioral experiments to see what changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and many daily stressors.DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Sessions often include coaching on breathing and grounding, learning to tolerate distress, and practicing clearer communication. This approach is useful for anger, impulsivity, mood instability, and relationship strain.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people find reasons to change and build their own motivation. It’s commonly used for substance use, smoking or vaping cessation, and other addictive behaviors where readiness to change varies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kevin will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative review can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.
