How evidence-based techniques guide online work
LaChelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients make concrete changes. Acceptance and Commitment approaches focus on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small committed steps toward what matters most. These methods can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Cognitive approaches emphasize identifying and changing thinking patterns that fuel depression and worry, and include practical skills for coping with strong emotions and daily stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That process may start with a few targeted techniques and evolve as needs change, with the therapist offering guidance and accountability along the way.
The practical advantages of online therapy depend on the formats offered. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation is all that is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques used in person into remote sessions so that progress continues even when schedules are tight.
