Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Dr. Forte-Perry describes her work as rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Cognitive-based techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. These approaches help with self-esteem, decision-making, and managing stressful situations.Behavioral strategies concentrate on building specific skills. That can include communication practices, boundary setting, and step-by-step plans to handle parenting or career challenges. These methods are practical and oriented toward everyday life improvements.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which combination of techniques fits a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions typically review what worked, what did not, and what to try next so the plan evolves over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, limit travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about which session rhythm and format best suit your schedule and goals.
