Practical skills and mindful support through online therapy

Brian Hunt draws from structured, skill-building approaches that translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday self-esteem challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness. It is often helpful when feelings can become intense, when impulses are hard to manage, or when coping with ongoing life pressures. Mindfulness Therapy complements this work by strengthening present-moment awareness, supporting clients who want to feel less overwhelmed and more grounded day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brian works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped in the past, and which strategies fit their values and preferences. Sessions can adjust over time as goals become clearer and new skills are practiced.

Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a format that matches their schedule, energy level, and communication style.
