Evidence-based approaches and online care
She combines cognitive-behavioral ideas and rational-emotive approaches along with humanistic therapy. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Rational-emotive ideas help people spot strongly held beliefs that drive distress and replace them with more balanced thinking. Humanistic therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the person’s own goals to build self-worth and motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they adjust pace and techniques to fit what feels most helpful as therapy unfolds.
