How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes teaching coping and relaxation skills to manage panic, anxiety, and stress. Another approach centers on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying alternative thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress. These methods are practical and are often paired with step-by-step homework to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. Together they set priorities, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
