Evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Stefanie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills for managing stress and anxiety. These approaches teach breathing, grounding and behavioural strategies that help reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. They are well suited to people dealing with panic attacks, generalised anxiety and situational stress.

She also applies relational and attachment-informed strategies when working with family, parenting and caregiver stress. These methods help people understand communication patterns, strengthen relationships and develop healthier ways of relating to others during life transitions such as separation or changing family roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Stefanie collaborates with clients to identify techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences. She uses the client’s feedback to adapt sessions so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access support from home, and to continue work between sessions with tools and reflections provided by the therapist. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals, including therapists, can use these formats effectively to provide ongoing care and support.
