Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dr. Weaver uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical, structured work in sessions. One common approach she uses helps people break overwhelming problems into small steps and practice new coping skills between meetings; this is useful for stress and anxiety. Another approach focuses on paced processing of traumatic events so that memories and feelings can be addressed without becoming overwhelming, which can help after trauma or abuse.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed to find what helps most in daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let a therapist and client work face-to-face for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter exchanges, quick check-ins, and ongoing support between scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep progress moving forward.
