How evidence-based techniques work online
Dr. Arrastia-Chisholm draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear practices and skill-building. One approach helps people process traumatic memories by breaking them into manageable pieces and teaching grounding skills to reduce overwhelming reactions. This method is useful for symptoms of post-traumatic stress, guilt, and shame.Another common focus is rebuilding self-esteem and body image through guided exercises that challenge negative self-beliefs and encourage compassionate self-talk. These exercises are practical and aim to create small, steady shifts in how someone relates to themselves. A strengths-based approach is used to connect personal values to real-life actions like career planning and coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may change as progress is made, and adjustments are made together.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls provide a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to match to a person's schedule and day-to-day life.
