How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Dr. Valentine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill-building and behavior change. One common method emphasizes structured problem-solving and routine building to reduce stress, improve sleep, and manage ADHD-related challenges by creating predictable daily habits and clearer task strategies. Another approach centers on emotion regulation and attachment work to help people manage intense feelings, process grief, and improve communication in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He discusses options with each person and adjusts methods to fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Therapy is collaborative so clients help choose whether to focus more on skills, processing, or coaching-style sessions based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady progress over time.
