Evidence-based approaches for online care
Douglas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issue at hand. One common approach focuses on skills to reduce anxiety and panic. This involves learning breathing and grounding tools, spotting unhelpful thoughts, and practicing small steps to face feared situations. It is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and persistent worry.Another approach centers on emotion regulation and trauma recovery. This work helps people name intense feelings, develop ways to lower emotional intensity, and slowly revisit upsetting memories in a controlled way. It can support recovery from post-traumatic stress, longstanding shame, and reactions after abuse.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan based on how well those methods are working. Clients help set goals and decide what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats aim to make therapy easier to fit into daily life and keep contact consistent while working toward clear goals.
