Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Irma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test different ways of thinking. This can reduce anxiety and improve mood by changing how situations are interpreted.Another useful approach concentrates on building coping skills and routines. It breaks larger problems into smaller, manageable steps and teaches strategies for stress management, relapse prevention for addictions, and handling life transitions. These techniques suit people who want concrete tools to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made, and adjustments are expected as part of the process.
