Evidence-based approaches and online care
Abbi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building strengths and developing practical coping skills. One common method emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. This helps people break down problems into steps and try experiments between sessions. Another approach centers on skills for managing strong emotions and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, pacing, and activity planning to improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and have regular check-ins without rearranging a whole day. It also allows for shorter or more frequent touchpoints when life gets intense, and makes it simpler to continue care during life transitions.
