Evidence-based tools, thoughtfully adapted for online sessions
Carmen Chaney draws from approaches that are practical and skills-based, which can translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and experimenting with new ways of responding, which many people find useful when dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day overwhelm.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, offering a clear framework for times when emotions feel intense or hard to manage. Mindfulness Therapy helps build awareness of thoughts, feelings, and body cues in the present moment, supporting steadier attention and more intentional choices during challenging situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carmen collaborates with clients to clarify what they want to change, what matters most to them, and what style of support feels workable, then adjusts the plan to match those needs and preferences over time.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or access support from wherever they are.
