Evidence-based techniques for online care
Dr. Farmer uses well-established, evidence-based techniques to address strong emotions and life changes. One common approach focuses on practical skills training - teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies to calm panic attacks and reduce reactive anger. These tasks are concrete and practiced between sessions to build confidence.Another approach emphasizes behavioral change and goal setting, which looks at daily patterns and small habit shifts. This helps with social anxiety, control issues, and rebuilding self-esteem by breaking larger goals into manageable actions. Sessions can include brief coaching exercises and problem-solving tools tailored to each person's routine.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit each person. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays practical and useful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more convenient. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone can work when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy days and differing comfort levels.
