Evidence-based approaches and online care
Douglas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety and trauma in straightforward ways. One common approach focuses on skills to reduce panic and manage anxiety symptoms through short, practical exercises that can be used between sessions. Another approach targets mood and stress by identifying patterns in thinking and behavior, then building small changes to improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapt techniques that fit those priorities. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time to keep progress moving.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to improve flexibility and access. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when there are bandwidth or camera limits. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, short reflections, or when a written back-and-forth feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or other busy days.
