04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Dr. Washington uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on goals and practical skills. One common approach is goal-oriented skill building, which teaches concrete coping and relaxation strategies to reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. These exercises are practiced in-session and applied to daily routines to help with sleep, eating, and mood regulation.Another useful method she employs is trauma-informed talk and coping work, which gently addresses past hurts while prioritizing emotional safety. This approach helps people make sense of difficult experiences and build tolerance for strong emotions without being overwhelmed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your needs, discuss options, and recommend techniques that match your goals and comfort level. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can change as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see body language and use screen-shared worksheets, phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into busy days or provide ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule regular work and maintain momentum toward your goals.
