How evidence-based techniques translate online
Dr. Russell-Irace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going, and then testing small changes to see what helps. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from the past that repeat in present relationships and use understanding to create different choices.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then adapts methods together with each person. This collaborative process helps match skills and insight-based work to whatever feels most useful for the client.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice new skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or for people who prefer typed communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
