How evidence-based techniques are used online
Many of the approaches she uses are evidence-based techniques that focus on what helps in day-to-day life. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches specific coping techniques for anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and stepwise exposure tasks. These are practical tools you can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and build confidence.Another approach often used with addictions and trauma focuses on identifying patterns and changing behavior. This involves mapping triggers, planning safer choices, and developing relapse prevention steps. For relationship concerns the work often includes communication skills and boundaries practice that can change how people interact over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the clinical process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion helps tailor session focus and which tools are introduced.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can often adapt these evidence-based techniques to remote sessions while keeping a practical focus on measurable goals.
