Approaches that guide online sessions

Misty uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical work. One common approach helps people process trauma by gently revisiting difficult memories while building coping strategies to reduce their impact. This work aims to lessen the hold of past events and support better daily functioning.

Another frequent focus is addiction recovery and relapse prevention. This approach identifies triggers and builds concrete routines and skills to manage urges, strengthen motivation, and support sober living. It often includes planning for real-world situations and practicing alternative behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist and client work together to choose techniques that match the client's goals, concerns, and preferences. That collaboration helps make sessions feel relevant and useful from the start.
