How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Behavioral strategies break goals into small actions to rebuild confidence and motivation and to change routines that feed stress.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Dina will talk with each person about their needs, what has helped before, and what feels doable now. She works collaboratively to adapt methods so they fit a client's goals and life circumstances.
