Evidence-based techniques and online care

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-life problems. One approach emphasizes practical skill-building to manage cravings, urges, and triggers related to addictions and substance use, helping people develop routines and coping steps they can use day to day. Another approach addresses trauma and abuse by helping people process upsetting memories at a steady pace while building safety, grounding skills, and emotional regulation tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods, and then tailor a plan that feels like a good fit. That collaborative process continues as progress is reviewed and goals shift.

Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t practical. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life changes, while the therapist and client adjust format and frequency to match changing needs.
