How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Holly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching skills, building resilience, and helping people make concrete changes. One approach emphasizes practical skill-building to manage anxiety and improve mood by practicing coping strategies during and between sessions. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and stress through step-by-step work that helps reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and adapt approaches over time. Together you will try techniques, notice what helps, and refine the plan so therapy fits your life and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent progress.
