How Betsy uses evidence-based work in remote sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches she uses are skills-focused cognitive strategies and practical communication work. Cognitive strategies help people notice thoughts that fuel anger or anxiety and practice alternative responses, which can reduce reactivity. Communication work teaches concise ways to express needs, set boundaries, and respond to criticism so conversations feel less explosive and more productive.She also incorporates brief behavioral tasks that target daily routines and reactions. These tasks are small, measurable experiments to try between meetings, such as practicing a short cooling-off routine before speaking or using a scripted statement in a difficult conversation. They help translate session insight into everyday habits.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will help identify goals and try methods that fit the client's situation and preferences. If an approach doesn’t feel helpful, adjustments are made so the work stays practical and focused on what the client wants to change.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed.
