Evidence-based approaches and online care
Jamie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and coping strategies. One common approach helps people notice anxious thoughts, test them, and practice alternative responses so worry has less impact on daily life. Another approach emphasizes behavior change through small, manageable steps to rebuild routines, reduce avoidance, and increase confidence.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she adjusts methods over time to find what helps most. Together they review progress and try new strategies when needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into a work break or low-bandwidth situation, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings.
