How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Dr. Dennis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and changing everyday behavior. One approach she relies on helps people identify unhelpful relationship and thinking patterns, then practice different responses to improve connection and reduce anxiety. This kind of method is useful for relationship problems, jealousy, and ongoing worry.Another common technique she applies emphasizes skill building for coping and mood management. Clients learn concrete tools for stress reduction, mood regulation, and navigating life transitions, which can be practiced between sessions to build momentum over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to choose methods that match each person's goals and preferences. Together they review what's working and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant to daily life.
