Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Elizabeth Tanner-Horn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to grief, caregiver fatigue, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. One approach emphasizes emotion-focused work that helps clients make sense of loss and process difficult feelings in a paced, supportive way - this helps people move through grief and end of life decisions while preserving dignity. Another approach focuses on practical skills-building for stress and anxiety, teaching coping strategies, grounding exercises, and problem-solving methods to manage day-to-day distress and build resilience.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Elizabeth partners with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the strategies that best fit their situation, then adjusts the plan over time to reflect progress and changing needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or on the go, helping clients maintain continuity of care during transitions or periods of high stress.
