How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Skinner draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like anxiety, trauma, and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing the interaction patterns that keep problems repeating, which can help with relationship conflict and family of origin issues. Another approach attends to post-traumatic stress and trauma-related reactions by working on symptoms and daily coping strategies to restore functioning.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. He and the client review goals, preferences, and the ways past patterns show up now. Together they try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
