Using evidence-based techniques in online sessions
Maitey draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems like anxiety, depression, and persistent self-blame. One helpful approach focuses on changing unhelpful thinking patterns by identifying and testing beliefs that fuel guilt and shame. This work helps people see how thoughts influence feelings and try different, more balanced ways of thinking.Another approach centers on behavioral changes and small experiments. It encourages testing new responses in everyday situations to weaken automatic reactions and build more constructive habits. These steps can help with relationship communication, motivation, and low self-esteem.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Maitey will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
