Evidence-Informed Therapy, Made Accessible Online
Paul Brunner draws from several structured, skills-based approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice practical alternatives for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for clients who feel stuck in intense emotions, struggle with impulsivity, or want clearer tools for communication and relationships.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed method that helps clients process difficult memories in a structured way, supporting people who feel impacted by past events and want to reduce how strongly those experiences show up in daily life.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Paul approaches therapy collaboratively, working with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and pacing, and then tailoring methods to what feels most helpful over time.
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 keep momentum between sessions and access support in a format that matches a client’s schedule and comfort level.
