How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Many of the evidence-based techniques she uses focus on skills you can practice between sessions. For example, approaches that emphasize behavior change teach practical steps to reduce anxiety and manage stress, such as paced breathing, activity planning, and simple exposure exercises to face feared situations. These techniques are useful for work stress, panic, and ongoing worry.Another common approach involves mapping relationship patterns and codependency dynamics. That work looks at communication habits, boundary setting, and decision-making, and it helps people try new ways of relating that reduce reactivity and build clearer expectations. That kind of work can help after infidelity, during separation, or when navigating non-monogamous arrangements.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will collaborate on what fits each person. Together they review goals, try methods, and adjust as needed so the plan matches lifestyle, needs, and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video or phone depending on what helps them stay engaged and learn new skills.
