How her approaches translate to online care

Dr. Liston uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's lead, listening first and shaping sessions around what matters most to the individual. This approach helps with things like relationship concerns, grief, and career questions by centering the person's priorities.

She also incorporates DBT-informed skills and mindfulness practices to teach concrete coping tools. DBT-style techniques focus on emotion regulation and tolerating distress, which can be useful for anxiety, self-harm risk, and strong mood swings. Mindfulness exercises help with stress, sleep, and grounding during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients help shape which strategies are used so the work feels practical and relevant.

The original biography notes that video sessions work well for establishing a relationship, though session offerings can change. Confirm current online or in-person session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and use video to practice skills together without requiring travel.
