How evidence-based techniques are used online
Joana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and gradual exposure. One common approach involves developing coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. This approach helps with problems like social anxiety, stress, and mood fluctuations.Another approach emphasizes processing trauma-related reactions through paced, structured conversations and grounding strategies. These methods aim to help people reduce distressing symptoms and regain a sense of control after traumatic events such as sexual assault or abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joana will collaborate with the client to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helping and what is not, keeping the client involved in decisions about care.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to avoid travel. They may also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for audio-only options if someone prefers not to be on camera. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to keep regular appointments and practice skills in real life between meetings.
