How problem solving and skill-based work translate online
Mirna describes her method as problem solving. In practice that means identifying one or two clear problems, creating steps to address them, and reviewing progress. This approach works well for managing anxiety, low mood, stress from caregiving, and concrete communication issues because it focuses on actionable changes rather than long open-ended discussion.She also emphasizes building on strengths people already have. That can include practicing communication techniques, scheduling manageable coping activities, or testing small behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. These are concrete tasks a therapist and client choose together, then adjust based on what helps.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and preferences and then check in regularly to see what to keep or change.
