He also incorporates ideas from the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern.

He encourages questions and shared decision making about methods and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Damon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people dealing with traumatic memories. EMDR focuses on reducing the intensity of upsetting memories so they interfere less with daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Damon works with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to shift course.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill coaching and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, between-session support, or shorter progress updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
