How Allyson Uses Mindfulness and CBT Online

Allyson uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices for paying attention to thoughts and feelings so they feel less overwhelming; it can help with anxiety, stress, and coping after trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation and balance between acceptance and change.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Together they decide which skills to practice between sessions and what progress looks like.
