Evidence-Based Tools, Made Accessible Online

Dr. Geralyn Dexter integrates practical, skills-focused methods that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practice more supportive alternatives. It is often used when stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions start to affect daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds concrete coping skills for emotional ups and downs, including strategies for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and healthier communication. It can be especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or are working to reduce harmful coping patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment with greater steadiness and less self-criticism, supporting calmer responses to stress and stronger follow-through on personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Dexter works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy and to tailor the pace, tools, and focus based on their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and to stay engaged between sessions.
