How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Erika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, teachable strategies. One common approach teaches breathing, grounding, and exposure-style steps to reduce panic and intense anxiety. These methods help people notice triggers and practice manageable steps to regain calm. Another approach centers on mood management and behavioral planning to address depression and low energy. This involves setting small, achievable activities and tracking progress to rebuild routine and motivation. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people attend from different rooms in their home or from work during a break, which helps maintain consistency in care without reshaping a whole day.Areas of expertise
