Evidence-based approaches for online support
Lisa uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online work. One common approach focuses on learning practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breath-based calming strategies, activity scheduling, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These tools help reduce immediate symptoms and make daily life more manageable.Another frequently used approach centers on processing trauma and grief through paced talking and meaning-making. This involves creating space to tell your story, identify painful patterns, and try new responses. The aim is to reduce overwhelming reactions and support healthier ways of relating to memories and loss.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they pick techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed during a busy day. Live chat and messaging let people share brief updates or get steady support between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into everyday life.
