Approaches used and how online sessions work
Gail draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns that keep problems going. One common technique helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try different, more balanced ways of viewing stressful situations; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and negative self-talk. Another practical approach targets behavior change by planning small experiments and new routines to reduce stress and improve mood; this helps with coping during life transitions and with anger or relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gail will discuss your concerns and goals with you and then suggest methods to try. Together you can decide which techniques fit your situation and adjust them as you go so the work stays relevant and manageable.
