Practical approaches for online care
Dr. Skinner uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another emphasizes gradual exposure and coping strategies to address trauma reactions, phobias, and post-traumatic stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. He works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking progress and adjusting plans when something isn’t working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different comfort levels.
