How evidence-based techniques are used in online therapy
Dr. Kitchen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on building emotional awareness and interpersonal skills to reduce anxiety and improve communication. This involves identifying patterns in relationships and practicing small, repeatable behaviors to change them.Another technique targets processing trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people describe triggering memories, notice physical and emotional reactions, and learn strategies to manage those reactions. The work aims to reduce the hold of traumatic memories on daily life rather than erase them.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. That means trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
