How evidence-based techniques work online

Laurie employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotion regulation and coping skills. Emotion regulation work teaches simple steps to notice and manage strong feelings, which can help with anxiety, anger, and depressive moments. Coping skills training offers practical tools for everyday stressors, like grounding exercises and structured problem-solving that people can use between sessions.

She also uses approaches aimed at processing trauma and reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress. These methods support paced talk and skills practice to help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and reactions over time. Each approach is explained in clear terms and adjusted to what the person needs that day.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist and client review goals and preferences together and try methods that fit the client's life. Laurie will help select and adapt techniques so therapy feels useful and manageable.
