How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many clients find it helpful to understand the kinds of methods a therapist uses. Lorraine relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, pacing, and simple behavioral experiments to test new responses. These techniques help reduce immediate overwhelm and build confidence over time.Another common element is communication and problem-solving work for relationship and life-change challenges. This involves practicing clearer ways to express needs, set boundaries, and approach difficult conversations so daily interactions feel more manageable. Those methods often pair well with goal-setting and tracking small steps toward change.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorraine will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily routines, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. The focus is on what helps you function better at work and in life.
