Using evidence-based techniques in remote sessions
Barbara describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical strategies. One approach emphasizes behavioral skills practice - identifying specific actions to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or improve sleep and concentration. These are concrete steps clients can try between sessions to test what helps.A second approach focuses on problem-solving and communication skills. That involves breaking problems into parts, rehearsing new ways of speaking, and planning small experiments to improve relationships and caregiver interactions. It can help with conflict, divorce-related issues, and ongoing communication difficulties.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and day-to-day routines and together decide which methods to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what the client reports and what produces noticeable change.
