Lennox aims to be direct, encouraging, and clear about steps to try between sessions. She helps people notice small shifts that add up to bigger change.

Approaches and Online Options That Fit Your Life

Dr. Lennox uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions which can help with anger, mood disorders, and relationship stress.

She also offers hypnotherapy as an option when it aligns with a person’s goals; hypnotherapy typically involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support behavior change and symptom relief. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what works for them.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit a work break, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports short updates or reflection between sessions. These options help people maintain continuity of care and fit sessions into busy lives.
