How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Staci uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address thinking patterns and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different, more effective ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and behavioral patterns that get in the way of daily life.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills focus on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help people reduce intense reactions, manage urges, and handle high-stress moments more effectively.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
