How Daniel uses evidence-based methods online

This approach is often used for stress, worry, social fears, and low mood.He also uses mindfulness-based techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness of thoughts and sensations. Mindfulness exercises can make it easier to step back from automatic reactions and try different coping strategies when feeling overwhelmed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. He checks in about what is and isn't helpful and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
