Evidence-based approaches for anxiety delivered online
Dr. Tollinchi-Castro draws on widely used, evidence-based techniques to help people manage anxiety. One approach focuses on developing coping skills and relaxation strategies to reduce acute worry and panic symptoms; this teaches step-by-step practices to lower physical arousal and interrupt anxious thoughts. Another approach emphasizes gradual exposure to feared situations and situations that trigger social anxiety or panic, helping people build confidence by taking small, manageable steps toward their goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is observed and as life circumstances change, so the approach stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing support, quick check-ins, or practicing skills between sessions. Together these options make it easier to fit care into a busy life while keeping the focus on reducing anxiety and improving daily functioning.
