How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Carla lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as part of her practice. One common approach she uses focuses on coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings. This involves identifying triggers, practicing simple actions to interrupt unhelpful patterns, and building routines that support daily functioning.Another area she emphasizes is attachment-informed work that addresses abandonment and relationship patterns. This approach looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people try different ways of communicating and connecting in adult relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carla will help clients choose methods based on their goals, current challenges, and what feels doable. She views therapy as a collaborative process and adjusts plans based on what is working in week-to-week sessions.
