Approaches used and how online sessions work
Carole draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety and mood concerns. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Exposure-based strategies help people gradually face feared social situations and phobic triggers in manageable steps so avoidance decreases over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then suggest ways to try different methods and track what helps. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made collaboratively so clients feel involved in treatment choices.
