Evidence-based approaches and online care
Jeri practices using straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people notice patterns and build new skills. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach emphasizes practicing small behavior changes to increase confidence and reduce avoidance, which can help with panic, low self-esteem, and codependent patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work, and the therapist treats it as a collaboration. She will talk through options, listen to your goals, and adjust methods so they fit your needs and pace. The aim is to match techniques to what you want to change and what feels doable for you.
