Dr. Schloesser has training in several therapeutic styles, including CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic theories.
Most often, she implements a flexible, integrative approach that allows her to tailor treatment to patients' goals, needs, and preferences.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is based on the premise that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all interconnected. Thus, when we commit the thinking errors, or cognitive errors, it impacts not only our thoughts but also our emotions and our behavioral responses.
CBT works to help address faulty thought patterns and the underlying belief system. Using CBT, individuals learn to identify their automatic thoughts, assess whether their thinking accurately reflects reality, and, if not, to employ a variety of structured questioning techniques to both challenge the thinking and replace it with something more constructive.
CBT works for clients of all ages. Research supports its benefits for treating many disorders, including:
Research has also shown CBT can be effectively implemented in telehealth settings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was first developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD, as a treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder.
Since its inception, DBT has been shown to be a versatile and practical therapy that effectively treats:
Four skills are often taught in DBT:
Depending on an individual’s needs, Dr. Schloesser may utilize a traditional DBT modality or may incorporate DBT exercises and skills into other types of therapy.
Psychodynamic therapy is a broad term that refers to a wide range of theories (e.g., psychoanalysis, Self Psychology, Object-Relations) that help individuals understand the drives and forces that result in patterns of behaviors.
Like many other therapeutic interventions, this type of therapy aims to identify, acknowledge, and overcome factors that may be resulting in undesirable behaviors, interpersonal relationships, or intrapersonal thinking.
Telepsychology offers a number of benefits including:
There are potential risks involved with telepsychology:
Many individuals are initially hesitant to participate in telepsychology. However, Dr. Schloesser will work with you to maximize the benefits of telepsychology.
The Psychological Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) is an interstate compact designed to facilitate the practice of telepsychology and the temporary, in-person, face-to-face practice of psychology across state boundaries.
In order to practice telepsychology in PSYPACT states, psychologists must be licensed in a PSYPACT state in order to apply to the PSYPACT Commission for an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT).
Dr. Schloesser has met all requirements and has obtained an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) from the PSYPACT Commission (APIT Number: 10241).
Synchronous service provision is when communication occurs in real time between a professional and a patient (e.g., session with video and audio).
Asynchronous service provision is when communication occurs in a time-delayed manner between a professional and a patient (e.g., texting or emailing). Please note that Dr. Schloesser does not provide asynchronous therapy services.
Confidentiality is pivotal to the therapeutic relationship. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) contains a privacy rule that creates national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and personal health information, including information about psychotherapy and mental health. In order to secure your personal information, Dr. Schloesser uses HIPAA-compliant software with safeguards such as data encryption and firewalls. One-on-one video sessions are conducted on HIPAA-compliant platforms.
There are exceptions when psychologists may disclose private information without consent (e.g., patient expresses intent to harm themselves or others). Also, when submitting for reimbursement to insurance companies, providers must share certain information (e.g., diagnosis, dates of service). If you do not wish to share this information with your insurance company, you do have the option to self-pay even if Dr. Schloesser is an in-network provider with your insurance plan.
