Applying CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT is often helpful for intense mood swings, relationship difficulties, and problems with impulsive behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It is frequently used in work on addictions, smoking and vaping cessation, and other behavior change goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Dr. Nicholas Schweizer works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so therapy remains practical and responsive.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it simpler to fit appointments into busy schedules, provide continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and support ongoing practice of skills between sessions with a licensed professional or therapist.
