How Stanton integrates evidence-based approaches in telehealth
Stanton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One approach centers on processing trauma-related reactions by helping people understand triggers and build skills to reduce reactivity. This is useful for post-traumatic stress, first responder work issues, and intense anxiety.Another approach targets addictive behavior and coping patterns by examining the situations and emotions that lead to use, then rehearsing alternative responses. That work emphasizes small, testable steps and relapse planning so clients can see what helps in everyday life.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Stanton will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan based on what works. The choice of techniques is shaped by client needs and measured progress.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography specifies telehealth to California clients. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about logistics and which session options are available before your first appointment.
