How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic, such as breathing work, graded exposure to feared social situations, and tools to interrupt panic cycles. These approaches aim to reduce the intensity of symptoms and increase confidence in everyday situations.Another approach concentrates on mood and addiction-related concerns by identifying triggers, developing relapse prevention plans, and strengthening routines that support recovery and emotional stability. This work often includes short homework tasks to practice new skills between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will help identify which techniques match a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on what is helping. Clients and therapist review progress regularly to shape next steps.
