Approaches that translate well to online care
Brandi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on managing emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills for strong emotions and anger, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Another approach focuses on communication and relationship skills, helping people identify interaction patterns and practice new ways to express needs and set boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to understand goals, preferences, and the problem at hand, then recommends techniques to try and adjusts based on what is helpful over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or people prefer not to use video. Live chat and text allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations.
