Approaches used in remote sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are at the center of her work. One focus is trauma-informed care, which involves grounding and stabilization skills, processing distressing memories at a manageable pace, and building strategies to reduce reactivity. This approach is often used for sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, and other trauma-related concerns.Another emphasis is on self-regulation skills. These include breathing and behavioral strategies to manage panic attacks, reduce anxiety, and improve day-to-day functioning. These techniques are practical and can be practiced between sessions to help with panic disorder and social anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will assess needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist will review what works and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Licensed professionals commonly use remote sessions to help people keep therapy consistent with their everyday routines and responsibilities.
