Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Many clients benefit from methods that link what happens in the brain to everyday habits. Neurofeedback is a brain-focused technique that uses data about brain activity to guide exercises aimed at improving regulation and focus. QEEG brain mapping is an assessment tool that helps highlight patterns in brain function that can inform treatment planning.

Alongside brain-informed work, Lara favors practical, collaborative talk-based methods that start with listening and then focus on small, doable changes. These approaches help with anxiety, mood concerns, sleep issues, and problems with impulsivity by teaching concrete skills and tracking progress together. Choosing the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
