How D'andrea Uses Evidence-Based Techniques in Remote Sessions
She describes her work as skills-based, using evidence-based behavioral tools and psycho-education. Behavioral techniques focus on learning concrete actions and coping skills that reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. These methods are useful for mood concerns, anxiety, trauma symptoms, and relationship stress.She also uses a trauma-informed approach that keeps collaboration central. That means she will work with clients to set goals, pace interventions, and choose which skills to try. If desired by the client, a faith-sensitive perspective can be integrated into planning and homework tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will help determine which techniques fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences through discussion and initial sessions. Decisions about pacing and which strategies to prioritize are made together.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled and delivered.

Licensed professionals often use these formats to maintain continuity of care while helping clients apply skills in daily life.
