Approaches used in online sessions
Washburn emphasizes evidence-based behavioral techniques that teach practical coping skills. These approaches focus on changing unhelpful behaviors and building small routines that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. They are often useful for mood disorders, panic, and compulsive behaviors.She also uses psychoeducation to help people understand how symptoms develop and what strategies help. That can include short teaching segments during sessions and homework to practice new skills between meetings. This is helpful for grief, trauma responses, and adapting to life changes.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If an approach needs adjustment, she and the client will adapt it together rather than sticking to a single plan.
