Evidence-based techniques and online care
Dr. Washington uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new ways of responding to stress and mood symptoms; these approaches are commonly used for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem work. Skills-based strategies teach concrete coping and relaxation exercises to reduce day-to-day worry, manage anger, and improve sleep and eating routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This is a team process that centers on the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from different locations when their schedule calls for it. Many find this flexibility helps them maintain consistent work on their goals while balancing family and day-to-day responsibilities.
