How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Leah works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target trauma, anxiety, and mood problems. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. These methods help people notice thought habits and practice alternative ways of thinking during and between sessions.Trauma-focused techniques are used to address the effects of abuse or overwhelming events. This work commonly includes step-by-step processing and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Perinatal mood approaches address mood changes around childbirth and support practical coping for new and expecting parents.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches that fit the client’s goals, and adjust methods based on progress and preferences. That decision is collaborative and revisited as needed.
