How Hiram’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Hiram works from an integrative framework that commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness approaches. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on noticing and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with stress and depressive symptoms.He also incorporates person-centered listening, which means sessions include space to tell your story and have it reflected back without judgment. Determining the right mix of techniques is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what feels most useful based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. Adjustments happen over time as progress is reviewed.
