How CBT and Mindfulness Work in Online Therapy

Dr. Walsh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that feed anxiety, depression, and panic. CBT often involves tracking thoughts, testing beliefs with small behavior changes, and practicing new ways of reacting to stress.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity, improve focus, and support mood regulation during stressful periods or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences, and then try practical techniques together to see what fits. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or between obligations. It also makes it possible to practice skills in everyday contexts and then bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
