How these approaches work online
Christopher Korty draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thinking patterns and emotional regulation. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or ADHD-related struggles. DBT emphasizes skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation to manage strong feelings and impulsivity.Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. It uses respectful conversation to clarify values and boost motivation for steps like reducing substance use, improving routines, or tackling career shifts. Korty will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences rather than imposing one fixed plan.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat works for quick check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules.
