Approaches to anxiety and online care
Dr. & Mrs. Alicia Millard uses well-established, evidence-based techniques to help people manage anxiety and recover from difficult events. One approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and mood regulation, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavioral changes that reduce avoidance and worry. This helps with everyday panic, social anxiety, and ongoing stress.Another approach centers on processing traumatic memories and their emotional impact through structured therapeutic tasks. This work aims to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and to improve daily functioning after trauma or abuse. Both approaches are explained in simple terms and matched to what each person needs.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, describe options, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to change course.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, live chat helps with shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and day-to-day life.
