Therapeutic approaches and online care with Sabrina Mayes

Sabrina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another approach she uses to teach skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and problems with impulsive behavior. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring personal motivation and building commitment to change, which can be especially helpful for addressing addictions and ambivalence about behavioral changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Sabrina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods, or combination of methods, best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to receive consistent support from home or other convenient locations. These formats allow therapists and clients to maintain regular contact, tailor session styles to individual needs, and fit care into busy lives.
