How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Carla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical, goal-directed work. Cognitive-style approaches look at patterns of thinking and help people test and change thoughts that fuel anger and anxiety. These techniques are useful for workplace frustration, rumination, and repetitive negative thinking.Behavioral strategies focus on changing responses and building new routines. This can include short behavioral experiments, sleep and activity scheduling, and practice of new interaction skills for heated moments or relationship strain. Such methods help with anger flare-ups, coping with stress, and managing mood swings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carla will help clients figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences through collaborative conversation and trialing different methods when needed.
The biography notes phone sessions and live chat as options when those formats suit a person. If you prefer other session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow brief check-ins between appointments, and remove travel time so therapy fits into busy days.
