Therapeutic Approaches and How Online Therapy Fits

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It is often helpful for people who struggle with emotional regulation and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it practical for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing centers on enhancing a person’s own motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and supporting personal goals, which can be useful for addictions and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nannina works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors methods so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. This partnership helps determine which techniques will be most useful at different stages of work together.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from wherever they are. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in care in ways that feel most comfortable for each person.
