How evidence-based techniques can help online
Sonia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, panic, and trauma in straightforward ways. One approach focuses on teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms, such as breathing and grounding practices and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. This helps people regain confidence in daily activities and reduce avoidance.Another approach centers on attachment and relationship patterns. It looks at how past relationships shape current reactions, and it teaches ways to notice old patterns and try new responses. This can be useful for relationship strain, abandonment concerns, and difficulties with trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
