How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Dr. Affemann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a coaching orientation to help people make practical changes. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors in daily life to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach emphasizes short, goal-focused tasks and homework that boost motivation and build confidence over time.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you would try methods that fit your situation and adjust them as you go so the work matches your needs.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better for a schedule. It can also let people use a session type that reduces the need to be on camera or that requires less bandwidth, depending on what they prefer. Licensed professionals can help you choose the most suitable way to meet.
