These methods teach practical skills to manage intense reactions and reduce the frequency of intrusive symptoms over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to maintain regular contact and continue skill practice between meetings.
