How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Many of her sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavioral change. One common approach teaches practical skills for managing anxious thoughts and panic symptoms, helping people notice triggers and try gradual, manageable changes. Another approach emphasizes mood and behavior activation, encouraging small, repeatable actions that can help with low mood and motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and how you prefer to work, and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clearer.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing appointments during workday breaks, and offering shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people meet without being on camera if that feels better, or rely on video when interaction and visual cues are useful.
