Conversations are direct but compassionate, with clear suggestions for what to try at home. She explains methods in everyday language and checks in about how strategies are working. Dr.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Sult uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for strong mood swings and relationship strain. Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears when relationship patterns are central, helping people name interaction cycles and change them for better connection.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to pick strategies that fit the person's life and priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill coaching, phone is helpful when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work consistently over time.
