How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Many of the evidence-based therapeutic techniques Megan uses focus on skills practice, structured conversations, and goal setting. For example, skill-based coping work teaches specific strategies to manage panic, mood dips, or attention challenges and usually involves practicing the skill between sessions. Trauma-focused techniques involve carefully paced processing of difficult memories while building strong coping tools to manage intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Megan will discuss different methods and collaborate on what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time so the work stays relevant and doable for each person.
