04Online support
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Kurt uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and panic - it teaches breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and distress. Another typical strand involves mood-focused strategies for depression, which include behavioral activation - scheduling small, manageable activities to rebuild interest and energy.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kurt will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face when convenient, phone works well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on consistent, practical progress.
