Evidence-based techniques and online care
Dr. Washington uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One common approach she uses teaches breathing and relaxation exercises, which can quickly lower stress and help with sleep problems and anxiety. Another familiar method involves identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts so people can respond differently to worry and low mood.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to decide which methods fit your life and values.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more nuance is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or to fit a quick check-in during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, flexible contact for short updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options let people access care from different places and at times that work for them.
