Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Portia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and anxiety. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new beliefs in daily life. These methods are practical and often used for depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.Behavioral strategies are another common element and involve planning small, manageable changes to routines and reactions. This can help with motivation, impulsivity, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving strain.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. You and the therapist can adjust methods over time based on what works and what feels manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking.
