How evidence-based techniques translate into online sessions
Dr. Sanders uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common method is cognitive-based work that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking. This can be useful for worry, panic, and the negative self-talk that feeds shame.Another approach is trauma-informed discussion that looks at how past events affect present reactions. That work often involves grounding strategies, careful pacing, and talking through triggers so daily functioning improves over time.
Choosing which techniques to use is part of the first few sessions. She will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying approaches, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together.
