Approaches that shape online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely processing painful memories and building skills to manage triggers and stress responses.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness techniques when helpful to teach emotional regulation and present-moment skills. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gail will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what works in real time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided skill practice.
