How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Dr. Chan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in straightforward ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes behavioral changes and small experiments that build confidence and improve daily functioning, which can help with motivation, panic symptoms, and mood regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Progress is reassessed regularly and methods are adjusted so the plan remains practical and relevant. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling during breaks or avoiding travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or video sessions when seeing facial expressions helps the work. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Regardless of format, the focus is on collaborative planning and useful steps clients can try between sessions.Areas of expertise
