How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Hiram uses a mix of evidence-based techniques adapted to individual needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative behaviors; this approach helps with anxiety, depressive patterns, and problem-focused goals. Mindfulness-based practices teach brief attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness, which can help with stress and emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods, reflect on what works, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits the person's life and aims.
