Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Denise draws on evidence-based techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and building practical skills. She uses structured cognitive strategies to help identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, which can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and depression.
