How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Hattie draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and insight. One common method teaches breathing, grounding, and gradual exposure strategies to reduce panic symptoms and decrease avoidance. These tools aim to lower immediate anxiety and make overwhelming moments more manageable.Another approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. This work can reduce anxious thinking, improve mood, and build confidence in facing difficult situations. Both approaches are interactive and often include homework or short practices between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hattie works with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most and how life circumstances change.
