Evidence-based approaches used in online sessions
Avery draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, addiction, and trauma-related problems. One common approach she uses focuses on teaching specific coping skills and behavioral practices that reduce panic and social avoidance. These skills are practiced in sessions and between meetings to build confidence in real situations.Another approach emphasizes examining patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. This involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying short experiments to test them, and building alternative responses to impulsive behavior or substance use triggers. That method can help with mood disorders, impulsivity, and relapse prevention.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Avery works with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, daily life, and comfort level. She adjusts methods over time so the plan stays helpful and realistic.
