How her approaches translate to online sessions
Tenisha uses evidence-based cognitive and behavioral techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify values and build committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and practical coping skills for intense moods and relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Clients and therapist adjust methods over time based on what helps most, so the plan can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and travel by removing commute time and allowing sessions from different locations. They also let the therapist use digital worksheets, screen-shared skills practice, and brief check-ins that support skill building between meetings.
