Evidence-based approaches and online care

Andia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One common approach is behavioral activation, which helps people structure daily routines and reintroduce meaningful activities to lift mood and reduce withdrawal. This method is often used for depression and low motivation.

For addictions and strong urges, a skills-based approach emphasizes identifying triggers, building coping strategies, and practicing relapse prevention steps. Sessions include concrete tools to manage cravings and reduce risky patterns. For grief and loss, she uses paced, supportive conversation to help people process emotions and find ways to honour changes while moving forward.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging supports between-session reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
