Approaches that guide online sessions

Dominic draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people recover from trauma and reduce anxiety. One common approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and teaching practical coping skills to reduce post-traumatic stress symptoms. This approach helps people gain more control over distressing memories and reactions. Another key method centers on building social confidence and managing anxiety. It uses step-by-step exposure and skill practice to make social situations feel more manageable. Clients learn tools for calming panic, challenging anxious thoughts, and trying small social experiments between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominic collaborates with each person to identify goals and tries methods that match those goals and preferences. Together they check in on what helps and adjust the plan as needed. Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and richer interaction, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want more frequent brief contacts to track progress and practice skills throughout the week.
