How evidence-based approaches map to online work
Richard draws on evidence-based techniques to address trauma and relationship problems. For trauma-related work he applies trauma-informed strategies that focus on stabilizing symptoms, recognizing triggers, and building coping skills to reduce reactivity and manage post-traumatic stress. These methods help people who are dealing with past abuse or severe stress reactions.For relationship and attachment concerns he uses interventions that examine interaction patterns, improve communication, and rebuild trust. This work targets communication problems, attachment issues, and conflicts that fuel stress in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Richard will work with each client to decide which techniques fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be revisited as therapy progresses.
