How Angela uses evidence-based approaches online
Angela commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that fuel stress, anxiety, or anger. It works well for people wanting practical tools to shift how they react. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to reduce impulsive reactions and manage strong feelings more effectively.She also uses client-centered techniques, which prioritize the goals the client brings. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - she works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Clients and the therapist reassess techniques over time to find what helps most.
