Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill building to manage stress and anxiety. These approaches help clients learn tools for reducing worry, improving daily functioning, and responding to stressful situations with clearer coping strategies.
