Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

Mention of specific techniques in the biography is general, so this section describes common evidence-based methods she draws on in plain terms. One approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, pacing activities, and short behavioral changes that reduce overwhelm. This helps people get through difficult moments and regain a sense of control.

Another area emphasizes building self-esteem and self-love through gentle reflection and practice. Sessions may include identifying negative self-talk, testing new ways of behaving, and strengthening habits that support healthier self-regard. This supports changes in work, relationships, and life choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That shared process includes trying methods, reviewing how they helped, and adjusting plans over time so the work stays useful.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. Confirm whether video or phone sessions are available and what fits your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
