How evidence-based approaches fit with online sessions
Tonja uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people notice anxious thoughts and test them with small behavioral steps; this is useful for social anxiety and avoidance. Another approach focuses on processing grief and loss through guided conversation and practical ways to manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tonja works together with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as sessions progress.
