Online support options
How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy
Dr. Green-Esterly relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and problem solving. One common approach is skill-building work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety, panic, and mood management through short exercises and homework. Another typical element is trauma-informed care that helps people process difficult events at a pace that feels manageable and reduces symptoms over time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them based on what is most helpful in practice.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing reminders between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice new skills, and adapt care around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
