Online support options
Practical approaches and online support
Two evidence-based approaches Tina uses include trauma-focused work and strategies for mood and anxiety management. Trauma-focused work helps people process distressing events and reduce their hold on daily life. Mood and anxiety strategies teach ways to recognize unhelpful patterns and practice small behavior changes that improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tina works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time so the work fits each person's life.
