Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Anxiety, Trauma, and Addiction Care

Patrice Levy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. One approach focuses on cognitive and behavioral skills - helping clients learn to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and daily stressors. Another approach centers on trauma-informed processing - supporting clients as they work through the effects of trauma and abuse with pacing and stabilization techniques to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. A third area emphasizes addiction-focused relapse prevention and coping skills - teaching ways to recognize triggers, build healthier routines, and strengthen motivation for recovery.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrice works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so therapy remains responsive and effective. The aim is to find tools that fit the individual and support sustainable change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from wherever the client is located within accepted regions.
