How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Frances draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world problem solving and skill building. One common approach helps people learn step-by-step skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, pacing, and breaking tasks into smaller pieces. Another approach centers on processing trauma and abuse at a pace the person can tolerate, using gradual exposures and coping tools to reduce overwhelming reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past attempts that helped or didn't help, and daily routines. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy lives. Online work can make it simpler to meet from a workplace break or between errands without needing extra travel time.
