Evidence-based approaches for online care

Meg uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, trauma, and addiction concerns. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world steps to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms; this helps people gain more predictable emotional responses and clearer decision-making. Another approach emphasizes behavioral strategies such as activity scheduling, coping skills for cravings, and gradual exposure to feared situations to rebuild routine and confidence after loss or trauma. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying methods, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together. Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter interaction is needed. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or fit short check-ins into a busy day. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
