Evidence-based approaches and online care
Curtrice uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behavior, and personal history. Cognitive-behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to shift mood and functioning; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Humanistic methods emphasize listening, respect, and helping people clarify their values and goals; this helps when someone wants greater life direction or self-understanding. Psychodynamic ideas look at repeated patterns and past experiences that shape present reactions, which can help with relationship or longstanding emotional patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which combination of techniques feels most helpful based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in sessions. Adjustments happen over time as progress and needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less data, and live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
