How his approaches translate to online work
Jeremy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in sessions. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. DBT offers skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful for people who react impulsively when overwhelmed.He also brings a Client-Centered perspective that focuses on each person’s experience and choices. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods and tools fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than committing to one path from the start.
