Background and approach
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and managing strong reactions. Mindfulness practices are included to increase calmness and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding direction and sustaining change.
These methods are selected and mixed to match each person’s situation. Lequoia has five years of experience working with people facing depression, relationship strain, body image struggles, and challenges around substance use. She also supports those dealing with trauma, anger, panic, and the fallout of divorce or separation.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps that fit daily life. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and plans to individual needs. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to be a steady companion on that path.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Lequoia often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods during online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities and creates space for honest conversation and collaborative planning.She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and stress management. DBT techniques teach practical tools for handling strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving day-to-day coping. Together these approaches give both short-term tools and longer-term skills practice.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session plans and the homework or practice that follows.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing encouragement. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and maintain steady contact between meetings.
