Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Dr. Turner describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce persistent shame or guilt. This method helps people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build small changes into daily life.Another approach emphasizes practical coaching skills and goal-setting to regain confidence and direction after relationship strain or life transitions. That style breaks larger problems into manageable steps and tracks progress between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan if something is not working. The client and therapist make those decisions together over the first few meetings.
