Approaches that guide online work

Dr. Drewes draws mainly on cognitive-behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teach practical skills to shift those patterns, which helps with anxiety, panic, and mood issues. Mindfulness practices focus on present-moment awareness and simple exercises that reduce reactivity and ease stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made in sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let a person practice skills in real life between sessions and bring concrete examples to discuss during appointments.
