Background and approach
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Before starting focused treatment, she explains options and involves clients in choosing the best path. That shared decision-making helps people know what to expect and feel more in control of the process.
Her background includes clinical work with people affected by traumatic events such as accidents, sexual trauma, and experiences common to first responders and veterans. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, panic, and grief after loss. Over her career she has combined clinical practice with research-informed methods.
Dr. Yamokoski offers several remote session formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between appointments.
Practical approaches for online trauma and anxiety care
Dr. Yamokoski commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes homework exercises and gradual exposure tasks that help reduce fear and avoidance over time.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic events. This approach helps people process difficult memories, understand trauma-related reactions, and build strategies to manage symptoms like hypervigilance or intrusive memories.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Decisions about pacing and technique are made together so clients feel involved in the plan.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins or written exercises between sessions. These options can help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping treatment consistent.
