Approaches that help with anxiety and panic
Francis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical help. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavior changes that reduce immediate symptoms. These techniques are aimed at helping people manage sudden panic and reduce overall anxiety levels.Another approach centers on processing difficult experiences related to trauma and abuse. This method involves careful, gradual work to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and build safer ways of responding. It can help with post-traumatic stress, shame, and chronic anxiety that follows stressful events.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Francis works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and comfort. She adjusts the plan over time so techniques fit the person's needs and daily life, not the other way around.
