Evidence-based approaches for online care

Serena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for panic attacks, mood disorders, and everyday worry.

Another approach focuses on attachment and interpersonal patterns to make sense of relationship struggles and abandonment concerns. It looks at how past connections shape current reactions and teaches new ways to communicate and connect. This work is often useful for communication problems, relationship stress, and feelings of isolation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Serena works collaboratively with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is tracked. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to try and when to pivot.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video lets visual cues guide the work, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or shorter focused exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and ongoing life demands.
