How online approaches and grounding skills work
Andrea often uses body-centered grounding techniques that teach people to notice physical signals of stress and use simple exercises to calm down. These tools help when anxiety spikes or when strong emotions make it hard to think clearly.She also draws on the Community Resiliency Model, an evidence-based method that focuses on building resilience through short, repeatable skills. CRM helps with emotional regulation, staying present, and recovering from overwhelming moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their needs. Adjustments are made as progress and comfort become clear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and demonstrations of skills, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing short reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to practice skills in real time.
