How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Dr. Immergluck uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear conversation and practical skills. One common approach focuses on building stress and anxiety coping skills through step-by-step practice, such as breathing and behavioral strategies to reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes working through addiction and relapse triggers by identifying patterns, developing alternative responses, and planning concrete actions to stay safer.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to test what helps, adjust methods over time, and prioritize goals that matter most to the client. The plan may combine skill practice, problem solving, and longer-form reflection based on what works for the person.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the specific formats available before booking since the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and use video or phone options to match energy and bandwidth needs. Many people find it simpler to attend regularly when sessions fit into their day, and therapists adapt techniques so they remain practical and useful across formats.
