Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Deirdre Moriarty uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness-based techniques to guide her work online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning - it is often used for anxiety and mood concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness - it can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and patterns of avoidance or impulsivity.

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices that help people relate differently to stress, worry, and strong feelings. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Dr. Moriarty works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
