How evidence-based techniques fit into online therapy
Garnadette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and coping. One common approach teaches concrete coping strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing techniques, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. This helps when worries or panic get in the way of daily life.Another key approach focuses on trauma recovery and post-traumatic stress by helping people process distressing memories at a manageable pace and build skills to feel steadier day to day. This work emphasizes safety, pacing, and rebuilding confidence after difficult events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Garnadette works collaboratively to choose techniques that match each person's goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adapts the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and realistic.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or busy schedules. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from varied locations and to keep work moving forward between appointments.
