Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches with Online Care

Dr. McCants draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative environment where the client’s perspective, values, and goals shape the work. This approach supports individuals in feeling heard and respected while exploring change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills and can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and relationship stressors.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic journey; Dr. McCants works together with each person to determine which combination of client-centered support, CBT, and DBT best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows for adjustments over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in therapy from familiar settings while still receiving care from a licensed professional.
