Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

This method teaches concrete steps to test beliefs and try different responses in everyday situations.Another approach she uses centers on processing trauma and loss through structured conversation and paced exposure to difficult memories. That work aims to reduce the intensity of painful reactions and improve functioning after trauma or bereavement.
