Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Dannette Henley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional healing. One common approach she applies emphasizes skills training and coping strategies to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression and to improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, attending to safety and emotional processing for those affected by abuse or loss, with attention to building resilience and self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dannette works collaboratively with each client to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting plans as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaboration helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and useful for everyday life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, during work breaks, or while managing family responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible support across different stages of change.
