Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Anastasio uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on real-life change. One approach emphasizes identifying clear goals and breaking them into manageable steps, which helps with depression, low motivation, and rebuilding confidence. Another approach centers on talking through grief and loss in a way that honors feelings while finding ways to move forward, useful for hospice, end-of-life, and bereavement concerns.The therapist treats choice of method as a shared decision. He will work with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps clients feel more involved and able to try different strategies safely.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for more in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking mood, or keeping momentum between longer sessions.
