Approaches that guide online care
Antoinette describes her work as trauma-informed and strengths-based. A trauma-informed approach means noticing how past hurt affects current feelings and reactions, then moving at a pace that feels manageable. This is useful for people recovering from abuse, post-traumatic stress, or repeated relationship wounds.A strengths-based approach focuses on what a person already does well and builds from there. Rather than starting with problems alone, this method helps people use existing skills to handle stress, parenting demands, caregiving strain, and codependency patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Antoinette works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She helps clients try practical strategies, reflect on what works, and adjust the plan together over time.
