How evidence-based techniques are used online
Dr. Jenkins uses practical, evidence-informed techniques to guide work on anger and related concerns. One common approach she uses focuses on recognizing triggers and automatic reactions. That method helps people notice early signs of rising anger and try different responses in the moment. Another approach emphasizes coping skills and behavioral strategies such as breathing, brief time-outs, and rehearsal of calm communication. These techniques are applied to issues like workplace frustration, relationship conflict, and resentment.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and tolerance. Sessions include checking how tools worked between meetings and adjusting plans so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
