How Giles applies evidence-based techniques in remote work
Giles commonly uses trauma-focused cognitive behavioral methods, which involve gently revisiting distressing memories while building coping skills and changing unhelpful thoughts. This approach is often used when people are dealing with PTSD, intense grief, or persistent anxiety.He also employs strengths-based work, which identifies existing abilities and resources and then builds on them with practical steps. That method helps with issues like low self-esteem, life-purpose questions, caregiver stress, and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to choose which methods to try and will adjust that plan based on how the client responds. The therapist frames decisions around the client’s goals, daily responsibilities, and comfort with specific techniques.
