How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many of the evidence-based techniques used in Dana's practice focus on skills and conversations that can work well in remote sessions. Cognitive-based approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce anxiety and depression through guided exercises and homework. Trauma-informed methods emphasize safety, pacing, and grounding skills to manage distressing memories and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Dana collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on what is helping and what feels doable.
