04Online support
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Marva uses several evidence-based techniques to guide her work. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, which is especially useful for addiction and low motivation. Mindfulness-based stress reduction teaches simple breathing and attention practices that lower stress and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you will try methods that fit your needs and adjust them based on what feels most useful.
