How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Hattie draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical coping skills. Cognitive-focused methods help identify and shift patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and depression, and can be useful for panic, social anxiety, and low self-esteem.She also uses techniques aimed at improving emotional regulation and relational understanding, which help people notice attachment patterns, work through abandonment worries, and communicate more clearly. These approaches support processing grief, guilt, and shame while building steady coping routines.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, life context, and preferences and will adapt methods as the work progresses. Together they decide what feels most helpful and practical for day-to-day life.
Please confirm current session formats before booking so you know which online options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue momentum during life transitions without needing to rearrange major parts of a schedule.
