Practical approaches for managing strong emotions online
Dr. Winchell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques described in straightforward terms. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying specific triggers and practicing alternative responses. This helps people break cycles of sudden anger and reduce repeated clashes in relationships. Another approach emphasizes skills training for stress and emotion regulation, teaching short, actionable tools people can use when they feel overwhelmed.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to test methods and adjust them based on goals, daily life, and what feels workable. The client’s experience and preferences help determine which strategies are kept and which are changed over time.
