Evidence-Based Tools, Delivered Online
Kerry Branum integrates structured, skills-focused methods with a collaborative, supportive style that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practice more effective responses, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping challenges.He also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on building psychological flexibility. Instead of getting stuck in a struggle with difficult thoughts or feelings, clients learn skills for making room for what shows up while taking steps toward what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can add practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerry works with clients to clarify goals and preferences, then adjusts the pace and strategies to fit what is most helpful and realistic for the client’s life.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with support. Sessions may take place through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options like live chat or text-based messaging for flexibility between appointments and accessibility across different schedules and locations.
