How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Bahtyah uses trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. This approach is practical and often helps with anxiety, panic, and post-traumatic stress symptoms.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These techniques are useful for managing intense emotions, reducing overwhelm, and improving day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bahtyah treats therapy as a collaboration and will adjust methods based on a person’s goals, preferences, and how they respond. Together they decide which techniques feel most helpful and realistic to practice between sessions.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break, fewer travel demands, or options when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT strategies for virtual sessions so clients can still learn and practice skills remotely.
