04Online support
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Rudy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world changes. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and stress, teaching pacing, breathing, and behavior adjustments that help people manage day-to-day symptoms. Another approach centers on addiction recovery work, which looks at triggers, routines, and small habit shifts to reduce substance use and address codependency patterns.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Rudy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the problems that feel most urgent. Together they test what works and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer shorter, more frequent touchpoints or who want flexibility across the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
