How Brett Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Many clients find specific methods helpful for concrete problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Narrative therapy centers on the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories so they feel less stuck and more in control. Trauma-focused therapy offers ways to address the effects of past trauma by pacing difficult memories and building coping skills to manage intense reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brett will talk with each person about goals, past experience with therapy, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made.
