How her approaches fit into online therapy
Many of Dwana's sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. Cognitive approaches help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. Skills-based work teaches coping tools and communication strategies that can be practiced between sessions to handle stress and relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is tracked. The client and therapist make decisions together about what methods to try and when to change course.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for interactive exercises, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection and shorter updates between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between meetings.
