Evidence-based approaches, made accessible online

Dr. Geralyn Dexter integrates practical, skills-focused methods that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes learning concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier relationships, supporting clients who want more steady coping tools during intense moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take meaningful steps forward even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up, which can be helpful during life transitions, workplace stress, or when motivation feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Dexter works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then adjusts the pace and tools accordingly. Therapy can be tailored over time so it feels relevant and usable in day-to-day life.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue progress during travel or transitions, and choose the level of structure that feels most comfortable.
