Therapeutic approaches and online care

Deidra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy along with Motivational Interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and building practical skills to change thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, useful for stress, trauma reactions, and sleep issues. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people explore their own motivations and strengthen commitment to change, often used with addictions, ambivalence about behavior change, and health-related goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Deidra works collaboratively with each person to select and adapt techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and actionable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or while balancing work and family, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are not possible.
