Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online

Dr. Tangela Isely integrates evidence-based approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, then practicing more helpful responses. It is often used when stress, anxiety, or depression has started to shape daily routines and self-talk.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can be especially useful when reactions feel overwhelming or when it is hard to stay grounded during conflict or high-stress moments. A person-centered approach adds a steady, supportive foundation by prioritizing the client’s voice, values, and pace, helping sessions feel collaborative rather than directive.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Dr. Isely works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the approach together as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility without sacrificing connection. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with additional support available through live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to engage in care in ways that match real life schedules and comfort levels.
