How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Jamie works from trauma-informed principles that focus on recognizing how past events affect present reactions. This helps people who carry guilt, shame, or post-traumatic stress notice triggers and safety responses and develop different ways of responding. Evidence-based techniques in trauma work tend to include grounding and paced exposure to reduce overwhelming reactions and increase tolerance for difficult memories.She also emphasizes approaches that address self-esteem and thinking patterns. These methods involve examining automatic thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing small behavioral changes to build confidence when facing relationship or identity challenges. Such approaches can be useful for depression, social anxiety, and body image concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie will help clients decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the work as progress or challenges appear. That means trying a few methods and keeping what helps.
