How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Dominic draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns that maintain anxiety and depression, then testing small behavioral changes to shift those patterns. This method helps with mood disorders, workplace stress, and social anxiety by emphasizing concrete steps and measurable progress.Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences and their emotional residue. This work involves paced exploration of difficult memories and practicing coping strategies for intense feelings. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and complex reactions to past abuse or violence.
Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Dominic and the client work together to match methods to the client's goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is observed. He emphasizes practical skill building alongside emotional processing so clients can use what they learn between sessions.
